Definitions

Definitions are the basic building blocks for the statement of problems. Each definition works as a function, demanding a certain collection of arguments, in order to create new points, and add corresponding predicates to the proof state (see details in Adding new problems).

Constructions that are not points directly can be subject to intersection, otherwise they generate point coordinates through a random choice.

The definitions available in the defs.txt file are listed below. The definitions in section New Definitions were added by us.

The original AlphaGeometry also had definitions “on_aline2” and “cc_tangent0”, which were not functional, and “on_opline”, which depended on the half-line class, which was eliminated. We also renamed the previous “eq_trapezoid” definition to “iso_trapezoid”.

iso_triangle_vertex

From two points b, c that are distinct, builds a, the vertex of an isosceles triangle with base bc. It was created for explicitly creating isosceles triangles from a given base, but it is also a simplified version of on_bline x a b above, without adding the statement about the equality of base angles, which should come from rule r13. There is also a definition adding only the statement about the equality of the angles below (see iso_triangle_vertex_angle x b c ).

iso_triangle_vertex_angle

From two points b, c that are distinct, builds a, the vertex of an isosceles triangle with base bc. It was created for explicitly creating isosceles triangles from a given base, but it is also a simplified version of on_bline x a b above, only adding the statement about the equality of base angles. The segment congruence statement in the on_bline definition should come from rule r14. Compare also to iso_triangle_vertex x b c above.

Construction

on_aline0

From seven points a, b, c, d, e, f, g, with the constraint that a, b, c, and d do not lie all on the same line, build x such that the angle formed at the intersection of lines ef and gx is the same (up to a rotation and a translation) to the angle formed at the intersection between lines ab and cd. This definition was created as a base general case for the creation of congruent angles. Indeed, angle_mirror x a b c is equivalent to on_aline0 x b a b c b c b, and on_aline x a b c d e is equivalent to on_aline0 x d e d c a b a.

eqratio

From seven points a, b, c, d, e, f, g, builds x, a point such that ab/cd=ef/gx. This definition was created to allow for the explicit prescription of eqratio statements on problems.

eqratio6

From six points a, c, e, f, g, h, builds x, a point such that ax/cx=ef/gh. This definition was created to allow a common case for prescription of eqratio statements, when the new point shows up twice in the ratio equality (particularly common when subdividing a segment).

rconst

Given three points a, b, c such that a is different from b, and a fraction r, builds x a point such that ab/cx=r. r should be entered as a fraction m/n, m, n two integers separated by “/”. This definition was created to allow for the prescription of pairs of segments satisfying a given constant ratio.

rconst2

Given two points a, b that are distinct, and a fraction r, builds x a point such that ax/bx=r. r should be entered as a fraction m/n, m, n two integers separated by “/”. This definition was created to cover a different case of prescription of segments satisfying a constant ratio, in this case when the new point connects the segment which ratio we are taking. It is typically used to split a given segment into two pieces with the given ratio.

aconst

Given three points a, b, c, with a, b distinct, and an angle r, builds x a point such that the angle from line ab to line cx taken in the conterclockwise direction is r. r should be entered either as a fraction in radians in the form mpi/n, m, n two integers separated by “pi/”, or in degrees in the from Ro, R an integer followed by the letter “o”. This definition was created to allow for the insertion of a prescribed angle between two lines without fixing the intersection of the lines. It was necessary for the effectivity of the aconst predicate.

s_angle

Given two points a, b that are distinct, and an angle y, builds x a point such that the angle from line ab to line bx taken in the conterclockwise direction is y. y should be entered either as a fraction in radians in the form mpi/n, m, n two integers separated by “pi/”, or in degrees in the from Ro, R an integer followed by the letter “o”. This definition was created to allow for the insertion of a prescribed angle between two lines with a fixed vertex. It is a modification of the previous s_angle definition in accordance to the aconst predicate.
