If an 8 inch wide rectangle is to approach the golden ratio, what should its length be?

Try 8 x 1.618 = ??approximately

I got it!!!

12.944 rounded it's 13 ;-)

To approach the golden ratio, the length of the rectangle should be approximately 13.012 inches.

To approach the golden ratio, we need to find the length of the rectangle. The golden ratio, also known as the "phi" symbolized by the Greek letter πœ™, is approximately equal to 1.61803.

To find the length of the rectangle, we can use the formula for the golden ratio:

Length = Width * πœ™

Let's substitute the given width in the formula:

Length = 8 inches * 1.61803

Calculating the equation, we get:

Length β‰ˆ 12.94424 inches

Therefore, to approach the golden ratio, the length of the rectangle should be approximately 12.94424 inches when the width is 8 inches.
