Question

Classroom activity (Constructing the 'square root
spiral') : Take a large sheet of paper and construct
the 'square root spiral' in the following fashion. Start
2P
with a point and draw a line segment OP, of unit
length. Draw a line segment PP, perpendicular to
OP, of unit length (see Fig. 1.9). Now draw a line
segment P. P. perpendicular to OP, Then draw a line
Fig. 1.9: Constructing
segment P.P. perpendicular to OP, Continuing in
this manner, you can get the line segment P. P. by
square root spiral
drawing a line segment of unit length perpendicular to OP, In this manner, you will
have created the points P. P...........
P..... and joined them to create a beautiful spiral
depicting 2. 3. 4...​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Starting with point O, draw a line segment OP1 of unit length.

Now draw a line segment P1P2 perpendicular to OP1 again of unit length.

Here always we need to keep in mind that the measure of the line segment would always be a constant, i.e., 1 unit.

Now again daw a line segment P2P3 perpendicular to OP2 of unit length.

Again draw a line segment P3P4 perpendicular to OP3.
