Solution


  1. Using the point Eb and the point Hb, construct a line hb (rule W02);

    % DET: points Eb and Hb are not the same

  2. Using the point Ha and the point Eb, construct a circle k(Eb,B) (rule W06);

    % NDG: points Ha and Eb are not the same

  3. Using the circle k(Eb,B) and the line hb, construct a point B and a point H (rule W04);

    % NDG: line hb and circle k(Eb,B) intersect

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

    % DET: points Ha and B are not the same

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

    % DET: points Ha and H are not the same

  6. Using the point Hb and the line hb, construct a line b (rule W10a);

  7. Using the line b and the line a, construct a point C (rule W03);

    % NDG: lines b and a are not parallel

    % DET: lines b and a are not the same

  8. Using the line ha and the line b, construct a point A (rule W03);

    % NDG: lines ha and b are not parallel

    % DET: lines ha and b are not the same
