Problem

Given a point Ec, a point Ma and a point N, construct the triangle ABC.

Status

ArgoTriCS says that the problem is locus dependent.

Solution


  1. Using the point Ma and the point N, construct a line m(HbHc) (rule W02);

    % DET: points Ma and N are not the same

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

    % NDG: points Ma and N are not the same

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

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

    % DET: points Ec and N are not the same

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

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

    % DET: points Ma and Ea must be different

  6. Using the circle k(N,Ma), the line m(HbHa), the point N and the point Ec, construct a point Mc (rule W05a);

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

    % DET: points Ec and Mc must be different

  7. Choose freely a point A (rule free)

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

  9. Using the point A and the point Mc, construct a point B (rule W01);

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