<PRE><B>Question 59889</B>
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?
------------
Golden Ratio: (1+sqrt5)/2 or 1.1618033988...
----------
If length is 36 inches width could be 
36*(GR)= 41.825 inches.
---------
or it could be 
36/GR= 30.986 inches
---------
