Question

How does the Fibonacci sequence relate to Pascal's triangle?

Answer 1

See below.

Explanation:

The Fibonacci sequence is related to Pascal's triangle in that the sum of the diagonals of Pascal's triangle are equal to the corresponding Fibonacci sequence term.

Answer 2

Just adding onto Bartholomew's answer.

Explanation:

As mentioned, the values on the 'shallow' diagonals of Pascal's triangle add up to the Fibonacci numbers.
In mathematical terms:

`sum_(k=0)^(floor(n"/"2)) ((n-k),(k))=F_(n+1)`

where `F_t` is the `t`-th term of the Fibonacci sequence.
