Question

Can someone please explain Thales' theorem

Answer 1

Answer:

In geometry, Thales's theorem states that if A, B, and C are distinct points on a circle where the line AC is a diameter, then the angle ∠ABC is a right angle.

or in simpler words ;

angles formed in a semicircle that includes the diameter forms a 90 degree angle at the angle opposite to the diameter. since the diameter divides it into two equal halves we reffer to it as a semicircle .

IF U STILL DIDNT UNDERSTAND , THEN :

• remember that when we talk about thales thorem , you should focus at some main things:

1. angles are constructed inside a circle.
2. the diameter is dividing the circle into two equal halves.(two semicircles)
3. the angles formed are using the diameter as a base.

• so the thorem says that, in the semicircle formed by a diameter .
• when an angle is made opposite the base , it makes a 90 degree angle

or

• all angles made in a semicircle, form a 90 degree angle , opposte the diameter.
