Rectangle ACEF shown in the figure is a golden rectangle. It is constructed from square ACDB by holding line segment OB fixed at point O and then letting point B drop down until OB aligns with CD. The ratio of the length to the width in the golden rectangle is called the golden ratio. Find the lengths below to arrive at the golden ratio. (Let a = 7.) If anyone can help me out and break it down for me that would be awesome!
