An artist wants her painting to be in the shape of a golden rectangle. If the length of the painting is 36 inches, then what should be the width?
\n" ); document.write( "The golden ratio is 1/1.618
\n" ); document.write( "--------
\n" ); document.write( "Let width be \"x\" inches.
\n" ); document.write( "x/36 = 1/1.168
\n" ); document.write( "x = 36/1.168
\n" ); document.write( "x = 30.8219 inches (this could be the width)
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "OR
\n" ); document.write( "x/36 = 1.168/1
\n" ); document.write( "x = 36*1.168
\n" ); document.write( "x = 42.048 inches (this could be the width)
\n" ); document.write( "====================
