How would you use the following figure to justify the statement that the angle in a semicircle is 90°?

In the figure, the diameter passes through O and A lies on the semicircle. Since OA, OB and OC are radii, the relevant triangles are isosceles. Their angles show that a + b = 90°, so the angle at A is 90°.
