Thales’s theorem

Thales’s theorem is an interactive experiment in Plane Geometry, a free simulation from StudyFi Lab that runs right in your browser.

Every angle inscribed in a semicircle is a right angle: if AB is a diameter and C lies on the circle, the angle ACB is 90°.

Try this: Move C along the circle, or move A and B — the angle at C stays 90°.
