Problem

Given a point Eb, a point Hb and a point N, construct the triangle ABC.

Status

ArgoTriCS says that the problem is locus dependent.

Solution


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

    % NDG: points Hb and N are not the same

  2. Choose freely a point Eb on the circle k(N,Ma) (rule WOncircle)

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

    % DET: points Eb and Hb are not the same

  4. Using the point Eb and the point N, construct a line m(HaHc) (rule W02);

    % DET: points Eb and N are not the same

  5. Using the circle k(N,Ma), the line m(HaHc), the point N and the point Eb, construct a point Mb (rule W05a);

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

    % DET: points Eb and Mb must be different

  6. Using the point Mb and the point Hb, construct a line b (rule W02);

    % DET: points Mb and Hb are not the same

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

  8. Using the point A and the point Mb, construct a point C (rule W01);

  9. Using the point A and the point Mb, construct a circle k(Mb,C) (rule W06);

    % NDG: points A and Mb are not the same

  10. Using the circle k(N,Ma) and the circle k(Mb,C), construct a point Ha and a point Hc (rule W07);

    % NDG: circles k(N,Ma) and k(Mb,C) intersect

    % DET: circles k(N,Ma) and k(Mb,C) are not the same

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

    % DET: points A and Ha are not the same

  12. Using the line hb and the line ha, construct a point H (rule W03);

    % NDG: lines hb and ha are not parallel

    % DET: lines hb and ha are not the same

  13. Using the point Eb and the point H, construct a point B (rule W01);
