Question

Determine the indicated side length of the golden rectangle. round your answer to the nearest hundreth....
(Picture below)....
....a. 4.85 ... b. 4.94 ... c. 5.26 ... d. 3.09

Answer 1

Any ideas?

Answer 2

you don't have an area or anything to work with? it could be all of them depending on if that rectangle is to scale

Answer 3

It's under the section Golden connections.
I take an online class so the lady didn't really explain it good.

Answer 4

Have you read this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_rectangle

Answer 5

approximately 1 to 1.618

Answer 6

1+(5^.5)/2 the equation from the link skull patrol used then multiply 3 by it and you get 4.85

Answer 7

Is it like that for each one?
Say I have this..

Answer 8

No, you should read and understand the wikipedia article for that one.

Answer 9

you have to work that one differently. if you use the equation you can change it around to b^2+5b-25=0 and then you can use the quadratic formula to find the value of b and you would get 3.09 depending on if i set the problem up correctly. But, I think i did because from the link we know that golden rectangles have this property a+b/a=a/b so solve for b like i just did.

Answer 10

Okay so I got a littlehelp from one of the teachers to help me with the first one, to have a better understanding.. he said divide the answer choices into that 3.. Whatever is closest to 1.618, or 1.61
