Cerb 0 Report post Posted January 29, 2006 Think of it like this:You take one rectangle and double it.You make a second rectangle the the same size as the previous 2 combined.Then you make a third the same size as the previous 3 combined.And so on...At least that is how it is used in geometry. It has a lot of similarities to the Fibonacci sequence of numbers. I would suggest you research it over at wikipedia.com. That is where I gained my knowledge of it.
