  • Answer

A regular octahedron ABCDEFA B C D E F is given such that AD,BEA D, B E, and CFC F are perpendicular. Let G,HG, H, and II lie on edges AB,BCA B, B C, and CAC A respectively such that AGGB=BHHC=CIIA=ρ\frac{A G}{G B}=\frac{B H}{H C}=\frac{C I}{I A}=\rho. For some choice of ρ>1,GH,HI\rho>1, G H, H I, and IGI G are three edges of a regular icosahedron, eight of whose faces are inscribed in the faces of ABCDEFA B C D E F. Find ρ\rho.
