Problem

Given a point Ma, a point Ha and a point Ta, construct the triangle ABC.

Status

ArgoTriCS says that the problem is locus dependent.

Solution


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

    % DET: points Ha and Ta are not the same

  2. Choose freely a point Ma on the line a (rule WOnline1)

  3. Using the point Ma and the line a, construct a line ma (rule W10b);

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

  5. Choose freely a point A on the line ha (rule WOnline2)

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

    % DET: points A and Ta are not the same

  7. Using the line ma and the line sa, construct a point Na (rule W03);

    % NDG: lines ma and sa are not parallel

    % DET: lines ma and sa are not the same

  8. Using the point A and the point Na, construct a line m(ANa) (rule W14);

    % DET: points A and Na are not the same

  9. Using the line m(ANa) and the line ma, construct a point O (rule W03);

    % NDG: lines m(ANa) and ma are not parallel

    % DET: lines m(ANa) and ma are not the same

  10. 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

  11. Using the circle k(O,C) and the line a, construct a point C and a point B (rule W04);

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