Going Beyond

 

A beautiful rose window completed in intricate stained glass! A rose window is a circular window found in the major Gothic cathedrals of Northern France. The window illustrated is found in Paris’ Notre Dame Cathedral, which was constructed in the medieval period. The construction of such windows has an interesting connection to your current study of trigonometry.

 

Using your knowledge of angles from 0° to 360°, can you figure out how students from an Alberta Mathematics 20 classroom created artwork similar to rose windows?
