Geometric Progression
A succesion of polygons with geometric progression
The Cathedral of Burgos has mathematical foundations. The architects were aware of mathematics. The book "Teseros Matematicos de la Catedral de Burgos" explains the mathematics behind its architecture. There is a lot of golden section, not by accident but deliberately included in the master plan. The shape of the apse and the ambulatory, for example, is based on a regular decagon.
Exercises:
- Find an expression for the geometric progression of polygons
- For a decagon, express the golden ratio factor φ in trigonometric terms such as cosines (or sines)
