An artist’s canvas forms a golden rectangle. The longer side of the canvas is 33 inches. How long is the shorter side? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of an inch.

Question

directrix · Answer

A rectangle with its sides in the 'Golden Ratio' or 1 : 1.618. The exact value of the golden ratio is (  1 + √5 ) / 2.

To find the missing length, set up at proportion:

S/33 = 1/1.618 where S is the shorter dimension of the artist's canvas.

Cross multiply and solve for S.
