Problem 4

Construct a triangle ABCABC given the lengths of the altitudes from AA and BB and the length of the median from AA.
Step 3 of 5: Recover C and B on the base line
C=AX∩HM,B is the reflection of C in MC=AX\cap HM,\quad B\text{ is the reflection of }C\text{ in }M
Detailed analysis

Extend AXAX to meet the line HMHM at CC. Mark BB on the opposite side of MM so that BM=CMBM=CM. This makes MM the midpoint of BCBC, as required by the median construction.
