The Wolfram Demonstrations Project contains thousands of free interactive visualizations, with new entries added daily.

This Demonstration shows how to double a line segment AB using only a right angle (e.g. a carpenter's square, a try square or an iron square). No compass is needed. Step 1: draw a ray AB Step 2: draw a straight line a through A Step 3: let C be the inte...
