Problem

Given a point A, a point Ea and a point Ha, construct the triangle ABC.

Status

ArgoTriCS says that the problem is locus dependent.

Solution


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

    % DET: points Ea and Ha are not the same

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

  3. Using the point A and the point Ea, construct a point H (rule W01);

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

    % NDG: points A and Ea are not the same

  5. Using the point Ha and the line ha, construct a line a (rule W10a);

  6. Choose freely a point B on the line a (rule WOnline2)

  7. Using the point B and the point A, construct a line c (rule W02);

    % DET: points B and A are not the same

  8. Using the circle k(Ea,A), the line c, the point Ea and the point A, construct a point Hc (rule W05);

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

    % DET: points A and Hc must be different

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

    % DET: points H and Hc are not the same

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

    % NDG: lines a and hc are not parallel

    % DET: lines a and hc are not the same
