consider the following circle.
with center O
let AOB=a°
and ACB=b°
to prove, a=2b
we know that, triangle AOC and BOC are isosceles triangles
(two arms are equal, they are the radii of the same circle)
therefore, from the diagram,
2w +x =180
x=180-2w
and,
2y+z=180
z=180-2y
given that the angle which surround a point, add up to 360°,
a°+x°+z°=360°
therefore,
a +(180-2w) +(180-2y) =360
a -2w -2y=0
a=2(w+y)
but w+y = b
therefore, a=2b
hence proved.
hope this helps.
please correct if there's any mistake
