Problem Statement

A plane pp passes through a vertex of a cube so that the three edges at the vertex make equal angles with pp. Find the cosine of this angle. Find the positions of the feet of the perpendiculars from the vertices of the cube onto pp. There are 28 lines through two vertices of the cube and 20 planes through three vertices of the cube. Find some relationship between these lines and planes and the plane pp.
