Question

The width of a golden rectangle is 15 feet. Find the perimeter of the rectangle to the nearest foot.

39 feet
64 feet
79 feet
72 feet
96 feet

Answer 1

79 ft

Explanation:

Golden rectangle side ratios 1 : (1+sqrt5 )/2

(approx 1: 1.618)

15 + 15 + 2*15*1.618 = ~79 ft

BUT perhaps the 15 is the 1.618 side

15/1.618 + 15/1.618 + 15 + 15 ~ 49 feet
