A Pythagorean Spiral is a series of right triangles arranged in a spiral configuration such that the hypotenuse of one right triangle is a leg of the next right triangle. In this project, you will use compass constructions to create the Pythagorean spiral. Then you will use your knowledge of the Pythagorean Theorem to find the lengths of the sides of each of the 17 right triangles that make up one revolution of the spiral. Finally you will decorate your spiral in a unique and creative way.
