document.write( "A golden rectangle is a rectangle whose length is approximately 1.6 times its width. The early Greeks thought that a rectangle with these dimensions was the most pleasing to the eye and examples of the golden rectangle are found in many early works of art. For&#8203; example, the Parthenon in Athens contains many examples of golden rectangles. Mike Hallahan would like to plant a rectangular garden in the shape of a golden rectangle. If he has 234 feet of fencing&#8203; available, find the dimensions of the garden. </SPAN>\n" );
