Without loss of generality, assume that . Plot the points , , , and on the unit circle where
Since the arcs and have the same length, the line segments and must also have the same length. Experiment with the controls until this statement is understood and use it to investigate how the lengths of the two line segments change, but always remain equal to each other, for different values of and .
Finally, finish the proof by replacing , , , , and with , , , , and respectively.
