Proposition: 3.20: Inscribed Angle Theorem
(Proposition 20 from Book 3 of Euclid's “Elements”)
In a circle, the angle at the center is double that at the circumference, when the angles have the same circumference base.
* Let $ABC$ be a circle, and let $BEC$ be an angle at its center, and $BAC$ (one) at (its) circumference.
* And let them have the same circumference base $BC$.
* I say that angle $BEC$ is double (angle) $BAC$.
Modern Formulation
The central angle is double the inscribed angle.
