Problem

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

Status

ArgoTriCS says that the problem is locus dependent.

Solution


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

    % DET: points Hc and H are not the same

  2. Using the point Hc and the line hc, construct a line c (rule W10a);

  3. Choose freely a point Mc on the line c (rule WOnline2)

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

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

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

    % DET: points A and H are not the same

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

    % NDG: points A and Mc are not the same

  8. 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

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

    % DET: points B and Ha are not the same

  10. Using the line hc and the line a, construct a point C (rule W03);

    % NDG: lines hc and a are not parallel

    % DET: lines hc and a are not the same
