Question

The length of one side of a golden rectangle is 0.73 centimeters. Find the length of the other side. Notice that the other side could be either longer or shorter than the given side. Use the approximation ϕ≈1.62 for your work: If 0.73 is the long side, the short side is centimeters. (Round to two decimal places as needed) If 0.73 is the short side, the long side is centimeters. (Round to two decimal places as needed.)

Answer 1

Explanation:

Golden rectangle has side lengths in ratio of 1 : 1.62

if .73 is the short side long side is 1.62 * .73 = 1.18 cm

if .73 is the long side short side is .73 / 1.62 =.45 cm (rounded)
