Solution


  1. Using the point Ec and the point H, construct a point C (rule W01);

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

    % DET: points Ec and H are not the same

  3. Using the point Tc and the point C, construct a line sc (rule W02);

    % DET: points Tc and C are not the same

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

  5. Using the line c and the line hc, construct a point Hc (rule W03);

    % NDG: lines c and hc are not parallel

    % DET: lines c and hc are not the same

  6. Using the point H and the point Hc, construct a line m(HHc) (rule W14);

    % DET: points H and Hc are not the same

  7. Using the point Ec, the point C, the point Tc, the line sc and the line hc, construct a line CO (rule W17);

    % NDG: points C and Tc are not the same points Ec and C are not the same

    % DET: points C and Tc are not the same

  8. Using the point Ec and the line CO, construct a line m(HbHa) (rule W16);

  9. Using the line m(HbHa) and the line c, construct a point Mc (rule W03);

    % NDG: lines m(HbHa) and c are not parallel

    % DET: lines m(HbHa) and c are not the same

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

  11. Using the point H and the point G, construct a point N (rule W01);

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

    % NDG: points Ec and N are not the same

  13. Using the circle k(N,Ma) and the line m(HHc), construct a point Ea and a point Eb (rule W04);

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

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

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