This question has this set of answer choices:
a) when the plane cuts three faces of the cube, separating one corner from the others
b) when the plane passes through a pair of vertices that do not share a common face
c) when the plane is perpendicular to the base and intersects two adjacent vertical faces
d) when the plane makes an acute angle to the base and intersects three vertical faces
e) not enough information to answer the question
The right answer is the first choice: a) when the plane cuts three faces of the cube, separating one corner from the others
You can see a picture of this case in the figure attached: as you can see the cross section (in pink) is a triangle.
To solve for p, square both sides and move the equation to one side is equal to zero. Then factor. I chose -2 and -5 because -2 x -5 = 10 and -2 + -5 = -7. After factoring, solve p-5=0 and p-2=0. When one of those equals zero then the equation (p-5)(p-2)=0 is true.
Add the lengths of all sides
