The explanation don't explain why AE must be a diameter of the circle. What makes that obvious?
Thales' Theorem
How have I had years of math and not seen this? I mean, itβs not super useful for me, but I would have thought I would have seen something like this in pre calculus at least.
I teach this to my grade 9 class in Canada. Itβs on the curriculum.
Nice. I have no recollection of seeing this before.
Tbf most Canadian grade 9 teachers skip it.
Geometry, class six or seven.
Thanks. I had the same Q: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thales's_theorem
