How can a segment be divided such that the ratio of the whole long piece to the shorter piece is equivalent to the ratio of the whole segment to the long piece?

This can be solved using something called 'The Golden Ratio', when the longer segment is compared to the whole is about 1.618033988... The Golden Ratio is the ONLY ratio capable of this.

Application problem a piece of wire was cut into 2 pieces in the ratio 7 8 the shorter piece was 14cm find the length of the longer pieces?
If a piece of wire was cut into 2 pieces in the ratio 7:8 and the shorter piece was 14cm, then the length of the longer piece will 16cm.
A board 1.2m long is cut so the length of the longer piece is 15cm longer than twice the length of shorter piece.How long is the shorter piece?
1.2 m = 120 cm Let the shorter piece be x, then the longer piece is 2x + 15. So we have: x + 2x + 15 = 120 3x + 15 = 120 subtract 15 to both sides 3x = 105 divide by 3 to both sides x = 35 Thus the shorter piece is 35 cm.
