1. Archimede's Spiral
(see below) Description Archimedean spiral is defined by the polar equation r == θn. ... Because there is a linear relation between radius and the angle, the distance between the windings is constant. ... When the Archimedes' spiral is available, this is easy: for an angle of magnitude ï°ï‚ the radius is equal to this ï°. With the trisection was meant the quest to divide an angle in three equal parts. ... While the angle is linear with the radius, a division of the radius in n equal parts gives n equal angles in the spiral. ...
