Question 1121568: If you have a wooden board that is 0.75 meters wide, how long should you cut it such that the golden ratio is observed. Use 1.618 as the value of the golden ratio. Answer by amarjeeth123(569) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! For a rectangle, length/width=golden ratio
width=0.75
Let the length be x.
x/0.75=1.618
x=0.75*1.618=(3/4)*1.618=3*0.4045=1.2135.
Length of the rectangle is 1.2135 metres.
