Exercise 1-C
1.

F2/F1=1 F8/F7=1.615

F3/FF2=1.5 F9/F8=1.619

F4/F3=1.5 F10/F9=1.617

F6/F5=1.6 F12/F11=1.6179

F7/F6=1.625 F13/F12=1.618

The ratio seem to be heading to what we know as the golden ratio.

8 parallel rows. 13 parallel rows. 21 parallel rows.

We can conclude that pineapples are mathematical objects that occur in nature. Their growth is
indicated by fibonacci sequence in different ways. Fibonacci dictate the number of spirals that appear on
the skin of the fruit. This pattern of growth determines the iconic diamond pattern found on the
pineapple.
