Nice! I like the way point b hops on to the circle! Jens is right: Thales' Theorem: an angle inscribed in a semicircle is right, and vice versa. And you are using Pythagoras to compute the distances!

So, who knows which theory is this?
Drag the blocks round to create a triangle, which will be turned into a right-angled triangle by moving the blue block. Press space to draw, 1 to reset, and 2 to calculate the distances.

Yes, it does work online for me! Was it Thales theorem?
It won't work online...
