Question 398904


A golden rectangle is one whose side {{{lengths}}} are in the golden ratio: approximately {{{1:1.618}}}.

if length is {{{a}}} and width is {{{b}}}, then you have

{{{a : b = 1:1.618}}}

given:

the length of the painting is {{{36 in}}}

{{{36in : b = 1:1.618}}}....cross multiply


{{{ b*1 = 36in(1.618)}}}


{{{ b = 58.248in}}}
