A INVESTIGATION (QUESTIONS 1 to 4)

RIGHT SPIRALS (20 marks)

You are advised to spend no more than 45 minutes on this part.

This investigation is about the lengths of spirals drawn on a square co-ordinate grid.

A robot starts from (0, 0) and moves 1 unit to Corner 1 .

It then turns right and moves 1 unit to Corner 2 .
It then turns right and moves 2 units to Corner 3 .
It then turns right and moves 2 units to Corner 4 .
It then turns right and moves 3 units to Corner 5 .

This forms a spiral, shown on the grid below.
