Solution


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

    % DET: points Ma and Ha are not the same

  2. Using the point Ma and the point I, construct a line IMa (rule W02);

    % DET: points Ma and I are not the same

  3. Using the point I and the point Ma, construct a circle k_over(I,Ma) (rule W09);

    % NDG: points I and Ma are not the same

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

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

  6. Using the point I and the line a, construct a circle k(I,Pa) (rule W11);

    % NDG: point I is not incident to the line a

  7. Using the circle k(I,Pa) and the circle k_over(I,Ma), construct a point Pa and a point Afi (rule W07);

    % NDG: circles k(I,Pa) and k_over(I,Ma) intersect

    % DET: circles k(I,Pa) and k_over(I,Ma) are not the same

  8. Using the point Pa and the point Ma, construct a point P`a (rule W01);

  9. Using the point P`a and the line IMa, construct a line AP`a (rule W16);

  10. Using the line AP`a and the line ha, construct a point A (rule W03);

    % NDG: lines AP`a and ha are not parallel

    % DET: lines AP`a and ha are not the same

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

    % DET: points I and A are not the same

  12. 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

  13. Using the point I and the point Na, construct a circle k(Na,C) (rule W06);

    % NDG: points I and Na are not the same

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

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