Exercise 4 — For candidates who have not followed the speciality5 points
On the figure given in appendix 2 to be returned with the copy:
- ABCDEFGH is a rectangular parallelepiped such that $\mathrm { AB } = 12 , \mathrm { AD } = 18$ and $\mathrm { AE } = 6$
- EBDG is a tetrahedron.
Space is referred to an orthonormal coordinate system with origin A in which the points $\mathrm { B } , \mathrm { D }$ and E have respective coordinates $\mathrm { B } ( 12 ; 0 ; 0 ) , \mathrm { D } ( 0 ; 18 ; 0 )$ and $\mathrm { E } ( 0 ; 0 ; 6 )$.
- Prove that the plane (EBD) has the Cartesian equation $3 x + 2 y + 6 z - 36 = 0$.
- a. Determine a parametric representation of the line (AG). b. Deduce that the line (AG) intersects the plane (EBD) at a point K with coordinates (4;6;2).
- Is the line (AG) orthogonal to the plane (EBD)? Justify.
- a. Let M be the midpoint of the segment $[ \mathrm { ED } ]$. Prove that the points B, K and M are collinear. b. Then construct the point K on the figure given in appendix 2 to be returned with the copy.
- We denote by P the plane parallel to the plane (ADE) passing through the point K. a. Prove that the plane P intersects the plane (EBD) along a line parallel to the line (ED). b. Then construct on appendix 2 to be returned with the copy the intersection of the plane P and the face EBD of the tetrahedron EBDG.
