More Spiral facts

Fibonacci Sequence

The Fibonacci Sequence is the series of numbers:

0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, ...

The next number is found by adding up the two numbers before it.

The 2 is found by adding the two numbers before it (1+1),
The 3 is found by adding the two numbers before it (1+2),
The 5 is (2+3), and so on.

If we made squares using those widths, you get a nice spiral:

Do you see how the squares fit neatly together?
For example 5 and 8 make 13, 8 and 13 make 21, and so on.
