Q. Classroom activity(Constructing the 'square root spiral'): Take a large sheet of paper and construct the 'square root spiral' in the following fashion. Start with a point O and draw a line segment

O P_{1}

of unit length. Draw a line segment

P_{1} P_{2}

perpendicular to

O P_{1}

of unit length. Now draw a line segment

P_{2} P_{3}

perpendicular to

O P_{2}

. Then draw a line segment

P_{3} P_{4}

perpendicular to

O P_{3}

. Continuing in this manner, you can get the line segment

P_{n - 1} P_{n}

by drawing a line segment of unit length perpendicular to

O P_{n - 1}

. In this manner, you will have created the points

P_{2}, P_{3}, . . . . . . ., P_{n}, . . . . .,

and joined them to create a beautiful spiral depicting

\sqrt{2}, \sqrt{3}, \sqrt{4}, . . . . . . .
