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

  3. Using the point G, the line ha and the point Ea, construct a line hG,-1/2(ha) (rule W15);

  4. Using the line hG,-1/2(ha) and the line a, construct a point Ma (rule W03);

    % NDG: lines hG,-1/2(ha) and a are not parallel

    % DET: lines hG,-1/2(ha) and a are not the same

  5. Using the point Ma and the point G, construct a point A (rule W01);

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

  7. Using the point G and the point H, construct a point O (rule W01);

  8. 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

  9. 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
