Pythagorean Spiral

Create Pythagorean Spiral
1. Draw a line segment, AB, of unit length [br]2.Construct a perpendicular line to AB at B[br]3.With B as centre , construct a circle passing through A.[br]4.Mark the point of intersection of the circle and the perpendicular line as C[br]5.Use Polygon Tool to construct the triangle ABC.[br][br]What is the length of the hypotenuse AC?[br][br]Change the colour of the triangle ABC[br][br]Repeat the steps of construction(2-5) on point C.[br]What is the length of the hypotenuse of the second triangle?[br]Repeat the construction till you get the triangle with hypotenuse of length [math]\sqrt{17}[/math][br][br]Clean up the construction by hiding the perpendicular lines and circles.
