To solve this problem, let's visualize the tissue box with the labeled vertices and lines. We'll start by identifying the points and lines as described:

1. Top face of the box:

   • Corners labeled as A, B, C, and D.

2. Bottom face of the box:

   • Corners labeled as E, F, G, and H.

   The labels are arranged such that:

   • H is below A
   • F is below C
   • G is below B
   • E is below D

So, the complete labeling of the tissue box is as follows:

• Top face (ABC):

  • A (top-front-left), B (top-front-right), C (top-back-right), D (top-back-left).

• Bottom face (EFGH):

  • E (bottom-back-left), F (bottom-back-right), G (bottom-front-right), H (bottom-front-left).

Now, let's define the relevant elements:

• Plane ABE:
  This plane passes through points A, B, and E.

  • A is at the top-front-left corner.
  • B is at the top-front-right corner.
  • E is at the bottom-back-left corner.

  Therefore, Plane ABE will slice through the box, passing through these three points.

• Line GF: This line is on the bottom face of the box and connects points G and F.

  • G is at the bottom-front-right corner.
  • F is at the bottom-back-right corner.

Finding the intersection of Plane ABE and Line GF:

To find the intersection of the plane ABE and line GF, we check if the line GF passes through the plane ABE or intersects it at a particular point.

• Plane ABE is defined by points A, B, and E.
• Line GF lies along the bottom face of the box and is parallel to the front and back edges.

Since points E and F are on the bottom face, and Plane ABE also passes through point E, the intersection of Plane ABE and Line GF is at point E.

Conclusion:

The intersection of Plane ABE and Line GF is point E.

Follow-up Questions:

1. What is the equation of the plane ABE if coordinates are assigned to each point?
2. How do we find the intersection of a plane and a line mathematically in 3D space?
3. How does the position of other lines, such as line EH, relate to Plane ABE?
4. What if line GF did not pass through point E? How would the intersection be different?
5. How do we verify the intersection of a line and a plane using vectors?

Tip:

Visualizing 3D geometric problems with simple sketches or physical objects can often clarify the relationships between planes, lines, and points.
