l e t O A = r

C M = (\frac{A G}{2}) \sqrt{3} \Rightarrow

\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} (r \sin θ) = \frac{a}{2} \Rightarrow r \sin θ = \frac{a}{\sqrt{3}}

A G = \frac{a}{\sqrt{3}}

N o w r + r \cos θ = h = \sqrt{\frac{3 a^{2}}{4} - \frac{a^{2}}{12}}

\Rightarrow h = r + \sqrt{r^{2} - \frac{a^{2}}{3}} = \frac{\sqrt{2} a}{\sqrt{3}}

\Rightarrow \frac{2 a^{2}}{3} + r^{2} - \frac{2 \sqrt{2} a r}{\sqrt{3}} = r^{2} - \frac{a^{2}}{3}

\Rightarrow r = \frac{a \sqrt{3}}{2 \sqrt{2}}

h - r = r \cos θ = (\frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{3}} - \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2 \sqrt{2}}) a

\sin θ = \frac{2 \sqrt{2}}{3}

D (0, 0, \frac{\sqrt{3} a}{2 \sqrt{2}}); A (0, \frac{a}{\sqrt{3}}, - \frac{a}{2 \sqrt{6}})

B, C \equiv (\mp \frac{a}{2}, - \frac{a}{2 \sqrt{3}}, - \frac{a}{2 \sqrt{6}})
