An Archimedean spiral is represented by r = a θ . a. Graph r = 0.5 θ and r = − 0.5 θ over the interval 0 ≤ θ ≤ 8 π and use a ZOOM square viewing window. b. Archimedean spirals have the property that a ray through the origin will intersect successive turns of the spiral at a constant distance of 2 π a . What is the distance between each point of the spiral r = 0.5 θ along the line θ = π 2 ?
