Question

steps of constructing square root spiral​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Procedure

1. Take a piece of plywood having the dimensions 30 cm x 30 cm.

2. Draw a line segment PQ of length 1 unit by taking 2 cm as 1 unit, (see Fig. 1.2)

3.. Construct a line QX perpendicular to the line segment PQ, by using compasses or a set square, (see Fig. 1.3)

4. From Q, draw an arc of 1 unit, which cut QX at C(say). (see Fig. 1.4)

5. Join PC.

6. Taking PC as base, draw a perpendicular CY to PC, by using compasses or a set square.

7. From C, draw an arc of 1 unit, which cut CY at D (say).

8.. Join PD. (see Fig. 1.5)

9. Taking PD as base, draw a perpendicular DZ to PD, by using compasses or a set square.

10. From D, draw an arc of 1 unit, which cut DZ at E (say).

11. Join PE.

Keep repeating the above process for sufficient number of times. Then, the figure so obtained is called a ‘square root spiral’.
