Fibonacci sequence has been the center of study for mathematicians worldwide for over the centuries. It possesses various properties,
algebraically and geometrically.
This project aims at extending the knowledge regarding the geometric
representation of the sequence by using other geometric shape; equilateral triangle, right triangle, square, pentagon, and hexagon.
![Page 5: Geometric Representation of Fibonacci Sequence](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061607/5579144ad8b42a03578b5402/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Moreover, the relationship between the newly created representations and the golden
spiral, in which is related to the former representation, will also be studied.
The former representation has led to the discovery of new properties of Fibonacci
sequence. It will be of highest honor should these new representations of this project pave a
new route for others in unearthing new knowledge about the sequence.

From the experiment, it is found that squares, right triangles, equilateral triangles, pentagons, and
hexagons can all be used to construct geometric representations of Fibonacci sequence with side
lengths corresponding to each terms of the sequence. However, only the representations from squares and right triangles possess relationship with the golden
spiral.
![Page 43: Geometric Representation of Fibonacci Sequence](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061607/5579144ad8b42a03578b5402/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Although all the representations can be successfully constructed, the processes are far more
complicated than that of the whirling rectangle diagram. Moreover the relationship with the golden spiral is far less
obvious than the former diagram.The reason for the representations which share no
relation with the spiral is that their turning angles are not 90 degree, while that of the spiral is exactly 90.
![Page 44: Geometric Representation of Fibonacci Sequence](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061607/5579144ad8b42a03578b5402/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
This project can be extended in order to find a generalized method in constructing the geometric
representation of Fibonacci sequence for any n-gons shape. The representation from octagon has been
constructed with slight error in the process as in the figure.
