Consider the rectangular parallelepiped ABCDABCDABCDA'B'C'D' as such the measure of the dihedral angle formed by the planes (ABD)(A'BD) and (CBD)(C'BD) is 90o90^o and the measure of the dihedral angle formed by the planes (ABC)(AB'C) and (DBC)(D'B'C) is 60o60^o. Determine and measure the dihedral angle formed by the planes (BCD)(BC'D) and (ACD)(A'C'D).
