Problem
Regular octahedron 
(such that points 
, 
, 
, and 
are coplanar and form the vertices of a square) is divided along plane 
, parallel to line 
, into two polyhedra of equal volume. The cosine of the acute angle plane makes with plane 
is 
. Given that 
, find the area of the cross section made by plane with octahedron .
