Given a point A, a point B and a point I, construct the triangle ABC.

Status

ArgoTriCS says that the problem is solvable.

Solution


  1. Using the point A and the point B, construct a line c (rule W02);

    % DET: points A and B are not the same

  2. Using the point I and the line c, construct a circle k(I,Pa) (rule W11);

    % NDG: point I is not incident to the line c

  3. Using the circle k(I,Pa), the point A, the point I and the line c, construct a line b (rule W13);

    % NDG: point A is outside the circle k(I,Pa)

  4. Using the circle k(I,Pa), the point B, the point I and the line c, construct a line a (rule W13);

    % NDG: point B is outside the circle k(I,Pa)

  5. Using the line b and the line a, construct a point C (rule W03);

    % NDG: lines b and a are not parallel

    % DET: lines b and a are not the same
