Solution


  1. Using the point B and the point Mc, construct a point A (rule W01);

  2. Using the point B and the point H, construct a line hb (rule W02);

    % DET: points B and H are not the same

  3. Using the point H and the point A, construct a line ha (rule W02);

    % DET: points H and A are not the same

  4. Using the point B and the point Mc, construct a circle k(Mc,A) (rule W06);

    % NDG: points B and Mc are not the same

  5. Using the circle k(Mc,A), the line hb, the point Mc and the point B, construct a point Hb (rule W05);

    % NDG: line hb and circle k(Mc,A) intersect

    % DET: points B and Hb must be different

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

    % DET: points Hb and A are not the same

  7. Using the circle k(Mc,A), the line ha, the point Mc and the point A, construct a point Ha (rule W05);

    % NDG: line ha and circle k(Mc,A) intersect

    % DET: points A and Ha must be different

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

    % DET: points Ha and B are not the same

  9. 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
