We construct a triangle given its incenter, nine-point center and a vertex by locating the circumcenter as an intersection of two rectangular hyperbolas. Some special configurations leading to solutions constructible with ruler and compass are studied. The related problem of construction of a triangle given its circumcenter, incenter, and one vertex is revisited, and it is established that such a triangle exists if and only if the incenter lies inside the cardioid relative to the circumcircle.
