Question

how to construct a spiral root

Answer 1

Procedure:

Draw a line segment OP1 of unit length (Let OP1 = 2cm).At P1 construct an angle of 90 degrees. Let the new ray be P1X, such that angle OP1X = 90 degrees.Cut off P1P2 = 2cm on P1X.Join OP2.Find OP2 using Pythagoras theorem. OP2 = Sqrt (2)At P2 construct an angle of 90 degrees. Let the new ray be P2Y, such that angle OP2Y= 90 degrees.Cut off P2P3 = 2cm on P2Y.Join OP3.Find OP3 using Pythagoras theorem. OP3 = Sqrt(3).Keep repeating, till you plot upto Sqrt(12).
