<PRE><B>Question 202325</B>
Golden painting. 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? 
-------------------------------------------------
width/length = 1/1.618
width = 36/1.618 = 22.25
-------------------------------
or, depending on which dimension larger,
width/length = 1.618
width = 36*1.618 = 58.248
=======================================
