Solution


  1. Using the point Ec and the point Mb, construct a line m(CHa) (rule W02);

    % DET: points Ec and Mb are not the same

  2. Using the point Mb and the point O, construct a line mb (rule W02);

    % DET: points Mb and O are not the same

  3. Using the point Mb and the line mb, construct a line b (rule W10a);

  4. Using the point Ec and the line mb, construct a line m(CHb) (rule W16);

  5. Using the point O and the line m(CHa), construct a line ma (rule W16);

  6. Using the line ma and the line m(CHb), construct a point Ma (rule W03);

    % NDG: lines ma and m(CHb) are not parallel

    % DET: lines ma and m(CHb) are not the same

  7. Using the point Ma and the line ma, construct a line a (rule W10a);

  8. Using the line a and the line b, construct a point C (rule W03);

    % NDG: lines a and b are not parallel

    % DET: lines a and b are not the same

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

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

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

  12. Using the point Mb and the point G, construct a point B (rule W01);
