We consider the cube ABCDEFGH with edge length 1 represented opposite. We denote K the midpoint of segment [HG]. We place ourselves in the orthonormal coordinate system $( \mathrm { A } ; \overrightarrow { \mathrm { AD } } , \overrightarrow { \mathrm { AB } } , \overrightarrow { \mathrm { AE } } )$.
  1. Justify that the points $\mathrm { C } , \mathrm { F }$ and K define a plane.
  2. a. Give, without justification, the lengths KG, GF and GC. b. Calculate the area of triangle FGC. c. Calculate the volume of tetrahedron FGCK.

We recall that the volume $V$ of a tetrahedron is given by: $$V = \frac { 1 } { 3 } \mathscr { B } \times h ,$$ where $\mathscr { B }$ is the area of a base and $h$ the corresponding height.
3. a. We denote $\vec { n }$ the vector with coordinates $\left( \begin{array} { l } 1 \\ 2 \\ 1 \end{array} \right)$.
Prove that $\vec { n }$ is normal to the plane (CFK). b. Deduce that a Cartesian equation of the plane (CFK) is: $$x + 2 y + z - 3 = 0 .$$
  1. We denote $\Delta$ the line passing through point G and perpendicular to the plane (CFK). Prove that a parametric representation of the line $\Delta$ is:

$$\left\{ \begin{aligned} x & = 1 + t \\ y & = 1 + 2 t \\ z & = 1 + t \end{aligned} \quad ( t \in \mathbb { R } ) \right)$$
  1. Let L be the point of intersection between the line $\Delta$ and the plane (CFK). a. Determine the coordinates of point L . b. Deduce that $\mathrm { LG } = \frac { \sqrt { 6 } } { 6 }$.
  2. Using question 2., determine the exact value of the area of triangle CFK.
