Provide an appropriate response. If a 13-inch wide rectangle is to approach the golden ratio, what should its length be? A. 34 in. B. 8 in. C. 20 in. D. 21 in.

from this page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_ratio the golden ratio is approximately 1.618 so if L is the length, then L/W = 1.618 L/13 = 1.618 Solve for L to get your answer

13x1.618 = 21.034 ????
