FAQ:
- Q: What is Theodorus's Spiral?
- A: Theodorus's Spiral is a spiral composed of consecutive right triangles, where each triangle has legs of lengths 1 and the hypotenuse of the previous triangle as its other side.
- Q: How does the number of triangles affect the spiral?
- A: Increasing the number of triangles results in a denser spiral, while decreasing it produces a sparser spiral with fewer turns.
