Picture the cube with side length s divided into 3*3*3=27 cubes of side length s/3.

Each of the sides of the section is then the space diagonal of a rectangular prism with edge lengths s, s/3, and 2s/3.

The area of the section is the square of its side length.

ANSWER: The area of the section is 14/9 times the area of one face of the cube.
