This is a short, animated visual proof of the Double angle identities for sine and cosine. To get the formulas we use a semicircle diagram and rely on similarity of two right triangles formed inside.

This animation is based on a visual proof by Roger B. Nelsen from the January 1989 issue of The College Mathematics Journal (https://www.jstor.org/stable/2686819 - page 51).
