Given a point A, a point Hb and a point Ta, construct the triangle ABC.

Status

ArgoTriCS says that the problem is solvable.

Solution


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

    % DET: points A and Hb are not the same

  2. Using the point Hb and the line b, construct a line hb (rule W10b);

  3. Using the point Ta and the line b, construct a circle k(Ta,foot[Ta,c]) (rule W11);

    % NDG: point Ta is not incident to the line b

  4. Using the circle k(Ta,foot[Ta,c]), the point A, the point Ta and the line b, construct a line c (rule W13);

    % NDG: point A is outside the circle k(Ta,foot[Ta,c])

  5. Using the line c and the line hb, construct a point B (rule W03);

    % NDG: lines c and hb are not parallel

    % DET: lines c and hb are not the same

  6. Using the point Ta and the point B, construct a line a (rule W02);

    % DET: points Ta and B are not the same

  7. 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
