The Golden Ratio and Logarithmic Spiral

Check it out! See the Golden Ratio in action. Use the play button to see the construction of golden rectangles. You may also slide through each stage of construction using the arrows. A third option lets you hide the spiral.

This is a Java Applet created using GeoGebra from www.geogebra.org - it looks like you don't have Java installed, please go to www.java.com

1. Based on the construction, how many rectangles could you make using the goldent ratio?

2. If these were not golden rectangles would we still be able to construct a spiral like we did?
