Let PP be a point selected uniformly at random in the cube [0,1]3[0,1]^{3}. The plane parallel to x+y+z=0x+y+z=0 passing through PP intersects the cube in a two-dimensional region R\mathcal{R}. Let tt be the expected value of the perimeter of R\mathcal{R}. If t2t^{2} can be written as ab\frac{a}{b}, where aa and bb are relatively prime positive integers, compute 100a+b100 a+b.
Plain-text mathematical notation (without MathML)
Let P be a point selected uniformly at random in the cube [0,1]³. The plane parallel to x+y+z=0 passing through P intersects the cube in a two-dimensional region R. Let t be the expected value of the perimeter of R. If t² can be written as (a)/(b), where a and b are relatively prime positive integers, compute 100a+b.
Original LaTeX notation
Let $P$ be a point selected uniformly at random in the cube $[0,1]^{3}$. The plane parallel to $x+y+z=0$ passing through $P$ intersects the cube in a two-dimensional region $\mathcal{R}$. Let $t$ be the expected value of the perimeter of $\mathcal{R}$. If $t^{2}$ can be written as $\frac{a}{b}$, where $a$ and $b$ are relatively prime positive integers, compute $100 a+b$.
