Solution


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

    % DET: points Mc and N are not the same

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

    % NDG: points Mc and N are not the same

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

  4. Using the point Hc and the point Mc, construct a line c (rule W02);

    % DET: points Hc and Mc are not the same

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

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

    % DET: points Mc and Ec must be different

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

    % DET: points Ec and Hc are not the same

  7. Choose freely a point A on the line c (rule WOnline1)

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

  9. Using the point A and the point Mc, construct a circle k(Mc,A) (rule W06);

    % NDG: points A and Mc are not the same

  10. Using the circle k(N,Ma) and the circle k(Mc,A), construct a point Ha and a point Hb (rule W07);

    % NDG: circles k(N,Ma) and k(Mc,A) intersect

    % DET: circles k(N,Ma) and k(Mc,A) are not the same

  11. Using the point A and the point Ha, construct a line ha (rule W02);

    % DET: points A and Ha are not the same

  12. Using the line hc and the line ha, construct a point H (rule W03);

    % NDG: lines hc and ha are not parallel

    % DET: lines hc and ha are not the same

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

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