Question

The 342 m long bar should be cut into two parts following the golden ratio. Find the length of the shorter part?

Answer 1

Shorter Part is 130.632m

Explanation:

Calculate the golden ratio (phi), which is approximately equal to 1.61803398875.

Divide the length of the bar by the golden ratio to find the length of the longer part:

Longer Part = 342 meters / 1.61803398875 ≈ 211.368 meters
Shorter Part 342m - 211.66m = 130.632m
