CMO 2024 Problem 5

  • Paper

Initially, three non-collinear points, A,BA, B, and CC, are marked on the plane. You have a pencil and a double-edged ruler of width 1. Using them, you may perform the following operations:

  • Mark an arbitrary point in the plane.
  • Mark an arbitrary point on an already drawn line.
  • If two points P1P_{1} and P2P_{2} are marked, draw the line connecting P1P_{1} and P2P_{2}.
  • If two non-parallel lines ℓ1\ell_{1} and ℓ2\ell_{2} are drawn, mark the intersection of ℓ1\ell_{1} and ℓ2\ell_{2}.
  • If a line ℓ\ell is drawn, draw a line parallel to ℓ\ell that is at distance 1 away from ℓ\ell (note that two such lines may be drawn).

Prove that it is possible to mark the orthocenter of ABCA B C using these operations.
