Problem:
Given the lengths and and the fact that the medians to those two sides are perpendicular, construct the triangle .
Solution
Solution:
Let be the midpoint of and the midpoint of . Construct the circle center , radius and the circle diameter . If they do not intersect (so or ) then the construction is not possible. If they intersect at , then take so that is the midpoint of . Let meet at . Then , so the triangles and are similar. Hence .
