How the logarithmic spiral properties Calculator Works
The calculator applies the exact formula r = a·e^{bθ}; growth per turn = e^{2πb}. Worked example: a = 1, b = 0.3 → after one turn r = 6.59. Keep every input in one unit system and the result follows in length units (m, ft, cm); full precision is kept until the final rounding. Angles in radians pair with s = rθ; convert degrees with × π/180.

Tips
- 1
Keep angles in radians for s = rθ formulas
- 2
1 rad = 57.2958°; degrees × π/180 = radians
- 3
Unroll curved paths into straight segments to sanity-check
Common Mistakes
Degrees entered where radians are required
Using the chord length as the arc length
Rounding π too early in chain calculations
