geometry intersection assume

intersection in the geometry package does not seem to recognize assume.

restart: with(geometry):

assume(p[1]<>0, p[2]<>0, p[3]<>0);
assume(q[1]<>0, q[2]<>0, q[3]<>0);
point(T,[p[1],q[1]]);
point(U,[p[2],q[2]]);
point(V,[p[3],q[3]]);
point(Op,[0,0]);

line(OT,[Op,T]);
line(OU,[Op,U]);
line(OV,[Op,V]);

point(B,2*q[2],solve(subs(x=2*q[2],Equation(OU)),y));
coordinates(B);
IsOnLine(B,OU);

PerpendicularLine(AD,B,OT);
ArePerpendicular(AD,OT);
sol:=solve({Equation(AD),Equation(OT)},{x,y});
eval(x,sol);
point(A,eval(x,sol),eval(y,sol));  ## the intersection exists
intersection(xA,AD,OT); ## fails
about(p[1]),about(q[1]);
Please Wait...
