Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
Good video but it only shows one direction.
That is, it shows that given a diameter that has 2 rays, one from each endpoint of the diameter to a common point, then they must form a right angle.
This does not show that if there are two rays at a right angle that they intersect at diametrically opposes points. It follows from what he did, but he did not explicitly shows an if and only if statement; rather, he proves an if/then.
