则A(0,0,0),B(0,a,0),A1(0,0,a),C1,
方法一 取A1B1的中点M,
则M,连接AM,MC1,
则\s\up6(→(→)=,\s\up6(→(→)=(0,a,0),\s\up6(→(→)=(0,0,a).
∴\s\up6(→(→)·\s\up6(→(→)=0,\s\up6(→(→)·\s\up6(→(→)=0,
∴\s\up6(→(→)⊥\s\up6(→(→),\s\up6(→(→)⊥\s\up6(→(→),
则MC1⊥AB,MC1⊥AA1.
又AB∩AA1=A,
∴MC1⊥平面ABB1A1.
∴∠C1AM是AC1与侧面ABB1A1所成的角.
由于\s\up6(→(→)=,\s\up6(→(→)=,
∴\s\up6(→(→)·\s\up6(→(→)=0++2a2=,
|\s\up6(→(→)|==a,
|\s\up6(→(→)|==a,
∴cos〈\s\up6(→(→),\s\up6(→(→)〉==.
∵〈\s\up6(→(→),\s\up6(→(→)〉∈[0°,180°],∴〈\s\up6(→(→),\s\up6(→(→)〉=30°,
又直线与平面所成的角在[0°,90°]范围内,
∴AC1与侧面ABB1A1所成的角为30°.
