If a window is to be 7ft wide how high should it be to the nearest tenth of a foot to be a golden rectangle help please

Question

mathmale · Answer

A "golden rectangle" features dimensions such that the ratio of the shorter dimension to the longer is something like 1/1.55.  Please look up "golden rectangle" for a more accurate ratio.

Now consider the window we're to design.  if the width is 7 ft, the height must be of what length for the two rectangles to be similar?  Think about this, please.  Hint:  Use an equation of ratios; start with the ratio mentioned earlier and equate that ratio to $$\frac{ 7~ft }{ x}$$

Finding that x value is your final task.
