You can put this solution on YOUR website! 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?
The golden ratio is 1/1.618
--------
Let width be "x" inches.
x/36 = 1/1.168
x = 36/1.168
x = 30.8219 inches (this could be the width)
---------------
OR
x/36 = 1.168/1
x = 36*1.168
x = 42.048 inches (this could be the width)
