Problem

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

Status

ArgoTriCS says that the problem is locus dependent.

Illustration

Figure of construction

Solution


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

    % DET: points Mc and Hc are not the same

  2. Using the point Mc and the line c, construct a line mc (rule W10b);

  3. Choose freely a point O on the line mc (rule WOnline2)

  4. Using the point Hc and the line c, construct a line hc (rule W10b);

  5. Choose freely a point A on the line c (rule WOnline1)

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

  7. 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

  8. Using the circle k(O,C) and the line hc, construct a point C and a point Ck (rule W04);

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