Book III   Proposition 33
And
    the angle BAD is equal to the angle in the segment AEB, for the latter too is itself a right angle, being an angle in a semicircle. [III.31]
But
    the angle BAD is also equal to the angle at C.
Therefore
    the angle AEB is also equal to the angle at C.

Therefore again
    the segment AEB of a circle has been described on AB admitting an angle equal to the angle at C.

Being what it was required to do.
