Build a Triangle IV
Given: A line segment (purple) whose length is fixed and known. Given also a
line segment (blue) of fixed length drawn to its midpoint and a third line segment (green)
of fixed length perpendicular to it. Is it
{always, sometimes, never}
possible to build a triangle which has one of the line segments as a side and the line
segments are a median and an altitude to that side?
