??The Geometry of Luck! ?? Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Ever wondered about the math behind a four-leaf clover? The leaves form a quatrefoil shape, a geometric figure made up of four overlapping circles. This symmetry is often studied in geometry and pattern recognition! In nature, four-leaf clovers are rare due to genetic mutations—only 1 in 5,000 clovers have four leaves instead of the usual three, making them a lucky find! ?? Math and nature go hand in hand—where else do you see geometry in the world around you? ???? #StPatricksDay #DidYouKnow #Geometry #STEMEd #SciTechInstitute
