It is easy to construct one equilateral triangle from three identical matches. Can we make four equilateral triangles by adding just three more matches identical to the original ones?

Construct a straight line passing through a given point and tangent to a given circle.

Three segments whose lengths are equal to \(a, b\) and \(c\) are given. Construct a segment of length: a) \(ab/c\); b) \(\sqrt {ab}\).

Construct a triangle with the side \(c\), median to side \(a\), \(m_a\), and median to side \(b\), \(m_b\).

Inside an angle two points, \(A\) and \(B\), are given. Construct a circle which passes through these points and cuts the sides of the angle into equal segments.

Two segments \(AB\) and \(A'B'\) are given on a plane. Construct the point \(O\) so that the triangles \(AOB\) and \(A'OB'\) are similar (the same letters denote the corresponding vertices of similar triangles).
