8.40. Construct triangle given the median and the angle bisector , if .
Solution
8.40. Let the extension of the bisector intersect the circumcircle of triangle (with right angle ) at point , be the diameter of the circumcircle, and be its center. Then , i.e., . Therefore, by drawing a tangent of length to the circle with diameter , it is easy to construct a segment of length . Now, in triangle , the lengths of all sides are known.
