In the right trapezoid $ABCD$ with $AB \parallel CD, \angle B = 90^o$ and $AB = 2DC$. At points $A$ and $D$ there is therefore a part of the plane $(ABC)$ perpendicular to the plane of the trapezoid, on which the points $N$ and $P$ are taken, ($AP$ and $PD$ are perpendicular to the plane) such that $DN = a$ and $AP = \frac{a}{2}$ . Knowing that $M$ is the midpoint of the side $BC$ and the triangle $MNP$ is equilateral, determine: a) the cosine of the angle between the planes $MNP$ and $ABC$. b) the distance from $D$ to the plane $MNP$

Consider a convex polyhedron without parallel edges and without an edge parallel to any face other than the two faces adjacent to it. Call a pair of points of the polyhedron [i]antipodal[/i] if there exist two parallel planes passing through these points and such that the polyhedron is contained between these planes. Let $A$ be the number of antipodal pairs of vertices, and let $B$ be the number of antipodal pairs of midpoint edges. Determine the difference $A-B$ in terms of the numbers of vertices, edges, and faces. [i]Proposed by Kei Irei, Japan[/i]
