Problem

Given a point B, a point O and a point Ha, construct the triangle ABC.

Status

ArgoTriCS says that the problem is solvable.

Illustration

Figure of construction

Solution


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

    % DET: points B and Ha are not the same

  2. Using the point B and the point O, construct a circle k(O,C) (rule W06);

    % NDG: points B and O are not the same

  3. Using the circle k(O,C), the line a, the point O and the point B, construct a point C (rule W05);

    % NDG: line a and circle k(O,C) intersect

    % DET: points B and C must be different

  4. Using the point Ha and the line a, construct a line ha (rule W10b);

  5. Using the circle k(O,C) and the line ha, construct a point Ak and a point A (rule W04);

    % NDG: line ha and circle k(O,C) intersect
