with a point O and draw a line segment OP, of unit
length. Draw a line segment P,P, perpendicular to
OP, of unit length (see Fig. 1.9). Now draw a line
O
segment P,P, perpendicular to OP, Then draw a line
segment P P. perpendicular to OP,. Continuing in
Fig. 1.9: Constructing
this manner, you can get the line segment PP by
square root spiral
drawing a line segment of unit length perpendicular to OP In this manner, you will
have created the points P, P,…., P. …. ., and joined them to create a beautiful spiral

Real Numbers and their Decimal Expansions
is section, we are going to study rational and irrational numbers from a different
of view. We will look at the decimal expansions of real numbers and see if we
se the expansions to distinguish between rationals and irrationals. We will also
