That excess that doesn't fit in the corner can be cut off and then divided equally along the sides (requires a bit more math to account for the extension).<br /><br />I have made an example for the square root of 5 in the link below. I plan to eventually try to make a video out of it and color code the excess block and its subdivisions.<br />The process you describe in the video is iterative and is a perfect way of demonstrating irrational values.<br /><br />I have made a geogebra display that I eventually plan to color code and turn into a video.<br /><br />https://www.geogebra.org/calculator/rrsrkrvnAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00078129911292752523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-969821499728229660.post-32980614275359470572021-10-04T13:16:18.780-04:002021-10-04T13:16:18.780-04:00Thank you, Mary!
