Problem 298 from Wernick's corpus: O, Mc, Hb


Problem

Given a point O, a point Mc and a point Hb, construct the triangle ABC.

Status

ArgoTriCS says that the problem is solvable.

Illustration

Figure of construction

Solution


  1. Using the point O and the point Mc, construct a line mc (rule W02);

    % DET: points O and Mc are not the same

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

    % NDG: points Hb and Mc are not the same

  3. Using the point Mc and the line mc, construct a line c (rule W10a);

  4. Using the circle k(Mc,A) and the line c, construct a point A and a point B (rule W04);

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

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

    % DET: points Hb and A are not the same

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

    % NDG: points A and O are not the same

  7. Using the circle k(O,C), the line b, the point O and the point A, construct a point C (rule W05);

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

    % DET: points A and C must be different
