Problem

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

Status

ArgoTriCS says that the problem is locus dependent.

Solution


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

    % DET: points Ha and Ma are not the same

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

  3. Choose freely a point Ea on the line ha (rule WOnline2)

  4. Using the point Ea and the point Ma, construct a line m(HbHc) (rule W02);

    % DET: points Ea and Ma are not the same

  5. Using the point Ea and the point Ha, construct a line m(EaHa) (rule W14);

    % DET: points Ea and Ha are not the same

  6. Using the line m(EaHa) and the line m(HbHc), construct a point N (rule W03);

    % NDG: lines m(EaHa) and m(HbHc) are not parallel

    % DET: lines m(EaHa) and m(HbHc) are not the same

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

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

  9. Using the point N and the point H, construct a point O (rule W01);

  10. 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

  11. 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
