Problem

Given a point Ec, a point G and a point Hc, construct the triangle ABC.

Status

ArgoTriCS says that the problem is solvable.

Solution


  1. Using the point Ec and the point Hc, construct a line hc (rule W02);

    % DET: points Ec and Hc are not the same

  2. Using the point Hc and the line hc, construct a line c (rule W10a);

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

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

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

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

  5. Using the point Mc and the point G, construct a point C (rule W01);

  6. Using the point Ec and the point C, 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 C and the point O, construct a circle k(O,C) (rule W06);

    % NDG: points C and O are not the same

  9. Using the circle k(O,C) and the line c, construct a point A and a point B (rule W04);

    % NDG: line c and circle k(O,C) intersect
