Exercise 3 (4 points)

We consider a cube ABCDEFCH given in Appendix 2 (to be returned with your work). We denote M the midpoint of segment $[\mathrm{EH}]$, N that of $[\mathrm{FC}]$ and P the point such that $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{HP}} = \frac{1}{4} \overrightarrow{\mathrm{HG}}$.
Part A: Section of the cube by the plane (MNP)
  1. Justify that the lines (MP) and (FG) are secant at a point L.

Construct the point L.
2. We admit that the lines (LN) and (CG) are secant and we denote T their point of intersection.
We admit that the lines (LN) and (BF) are secant and we denote Q their point of intersection. a. Construct the points T and Q leaving the construction lines visible. b. Construct the intersection of the planes (MNP) and (ABF).
3. Deduce a construction of the section of the cube by the plane (MNP).
Part B
The space is referred to the coordinate system $(\mathrm{A}; \overrightarrow{\mathrm{AB}}, \overrightarrow{\mathrm{AD}}, \overrightarrow{\mathrm{AE}})$.
  1. Give the coordinates of points $\mathrm{M}, \mathrm{N}$ and P in this coordinate system.
  2. Determine the coordinates of point L.
  3. We admit that point T has coordinates $\left(1 ; 1 ; \frac{5}{8}\right)$. Is the triangle TPN right-angled at T?
