We consider the cube ABCDEFGH with edge 1. We call I the point of intersection of the plane (GBD) with the line (EC). The space is referred to the orthonormal coordinate system $(\mathrm{A}; \overrightarrow{\mathrm{AB}}, \overrightarrow{\mathrm{AD}}, \overrightarrow{\mathrm{AE}})$.
  1. Give in this coordinate system the coordinates of points $\mathrm{E}, \mathrm{C}, \mathrm{G}$.
  2. Determine a parametric representation of the line (EC).
  3. Prove that the line (EC) is orthogonal to the plane (GBD).
    1. [a.] Justify that a Cartesian equation of the plane (GBD) is: $$x + y - z - 1 = 0.$$
    2. [b.] Show that point I has coordinates $\left(\frac{2}{3}; \frac{2}{3}; \frac{1}{3}\right)$.
    3. [c.] Deduce that the distance from point E to the plane (GBD) is equal to $\frac{2\sqrt{3}}{3}$.
    1. [a.] Prove that triangle BDG is equilateral.
    2. [b.] Calculate the area of triangle BDG. You may use point J, the midpoint of segment [BD].
  4. Justify that the volume of tetrahedron EGBD is equal to $\frac{1}{3}$.
    We recall that the volume of a tetrahedron is given by $V = \frac{1}{3}Bh$ where $B$ is the area of a base of the tetrahedron and $h$ is the height relative to this base.
