angle congruences, but not similarity
Not the following three theorems have exactly the same hypotheses.
test1
b c d = triangle b c d; a = circumcenter a b c d; e = on_line e b d, on_tline e c c a; f = on_line f e c, on_tline f b b d; g = on_line g e c, on_tline g d d b; h = on_line h b d, on_line h a c ? eqangle g d g c h b h c
test2
b c d = triangle b c d; a = circumcenter a b c d; e = on_line e b d, on_tline e c c a; f = on_line f e c, on_tline f b b d; g = on_line g e c, on_tline g d d b; h = on_line h b d, on_line h a c ? eqangle b c b d c g c d
test3
b c d = triangle b c d; a = circumcenter a b c d; e = on_line e b d, on_tline e c c a; f = on_line f e c, on_tline f b b d; g = on_line g e c, on_tline g d d b; h = on_line h b d, on_line h a c ? simtri c g d b h c
AG is able to prove the first two, which establish that two of corresponding angles in cgb and bhc are congruent; but it is unable to prove the third, that the two triangles are similar.
Thinking that combining test1 and test2 to deduce test3 might require a little more computing space, I tried increasing the parameters
BATCH_SIZE=2
BEAM_SIZE=2
DEPTH=2
But that didn't work
Anyone have an idea what's going on here?
Please check the point elements in the conclusion(goal) of your test2. We can see that the point H wasn't mentioned in it. But you know, mentioning point H is necessary for the similarity you want to prove :)
Tests 1 and 2 were successful. Only test3 failed.
I mean, the similarity you want to prove in the test3 is wrong.
Please manually check whether there is a deductive relation between the conclusions of your test1&2 and the similarity you want to prove in the test3.
Ah, I see what you mean . Actually angle cbd is congruent to cbh; and when I change test2 to
b c d = triangle b c d; a = circumcenter a b c d; e = on_line e b d, on_tline e c c a; f = on_line f e c, on_tline f b b d; g = on_line g e c, on_tline g d d b; h = on_line h b d, on_line h a c ? eqangle b c b h c g c d
it still works.
