ABCD is a tetrahedron (not necessarly a regular one). A Monge's plane is a plane which is perpendicular to an edge and goes through the middle of the opposite edge.

Monge's plan

I want to prove that the 6 Monge's planes of this triangle converge in a unique point and I haven't got any idea of the way to do this.

Thank you in advance !

    Okay, this might help you with simplifying things: position your tetrahedron such that one vertex is at the origin and one of the edges lies on an axis. Have one of the faces lie in a coordinate plane, if needed. You might want to use the formulae [here](http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Plane.html) to help you with assembling plane equations.2011-10-26

Here's a concise linear algebra proof (pages 5 and 6). And here's a geometrical proof.
