Solution


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

    % DET: points Ea and Ma are not the same

  2. Using the point Ma and the point O, construct a line ma (rule W02);

    % DET: points Ma and O are not the same

  3. Using the point Ma and the line ma, construct a line a (rule W10a);

  4. Using the point Ea and the point Ma, construct a line m(EaMa) (rule W14);

    % DET: points Ea and Ma are not the same

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

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

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

  6. Using the point N and the point O, construct a point G (rule W01);

  7. Using the point Ma and the point G, construct a point A (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
