Solution


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

    % DET: points B and Hc are not the same

  2. Using the point Hc and the point N, construct a circle k(N,Ma) (rule W06);

    % NDG: points Hc and N are not the same

  3. Using the circle k(N,Ma), the line c, the point N and the point Hc, construct a point Mc (rule W05);

    % NDG: line c and circle k(N,Ma) intersect

    % DET: points Hc and Mc must be different

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

  5. Using the point N and the point Mc, construct a line m(HaHb) (rule W02);

    % DET: points N and Mc are not the same

  6. Using the circle k(N,Ma), the line m(HaHb), the point N and the point Mc, construct a point Ec (rule W05a);

    % NDG: line m(HaHb) and circle k(N,Ma) intersect

    % DET: points Mc and Ec must be different

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

    % DET: points Ec and Hc are not the same

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

    % NDG: points B and Mc are not the same

  9. Using the circle k(N,Ma) and the circle k(Mc,A), construct a point Ha and a point Hb (rule W07);

    % NDG: circles k(N,Ma) and k(Mc,A) intersect

    % DET: circles k(N,Ma) and k(Mc,A) are not the same

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

    % DET: points B and Ha are not the same

  11. 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
