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 O and the line c, construct a line mc (rule W10b);

  4. Using the line mc and the line c, construct a point Mc (rule W03);

    % NDG: lines mc and c are not parallel

    % DET: lines mc and c are not the same

  5. Using the point Mc and the point Ec, construct a line m(HbHa) (rule W02);

    % DET: points Mc and Ec are not the same

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

    % DET: points Ec and Hc are not the same

  7. Using the line m(EcHc) and the line m(HbHa), construct a point N (rule W03);

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

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

  8. Using the point O and the point N, construct a point H (rule W01);

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

  10. 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

  11. 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
