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

The golden ratio = 1.61803399
So, the length could be 8 inches *1.61803399 ~= 12.94 "
or 8 inches / 1.61803399 ~= 4.94 "
Most people consider the width to be less than or equal to the length, so 12.94" is the more acceptable answer.

How do you find the area when you only know the perimeter?
It depends on the figure you talk about; for example:If circle: the Diameter D = perimeter/(Pai)Then the area = Pai x D2 / 4If square: the side length L = perimeter/4Then the area = L2If rectangle: then you should know either the length of one sides of the rectangle or to know the ratio of length to width. If you know either the length L or the width W, then you get unknown L or W from the equation:Perimeter = 2 x (L+W); then the area = L x WIf you know the ration x = L/W, then L = yWperimeter = 2 (L + W) = 2 (yW +W) = 2 W (y +1)Accordingly, you get W value and you get L value (=yW)Then the area = L x W=====================================Wonderful.Except that the question clearly stated "you only know the perimeter".So at every point where you postulate additional information, such asthe category of the shape, or one dimension of the rectangle, you'veclearly gone beyond the situation specified in the question.

What is the area of a rectangle if its width is 5 Cm and sides are in the ratio 2 ration 5?
generally the breadth is considered smaller than the length in a rectangle so if breadth = 5 cm and length = (5*5)/2 = 12.5 cm therefore area = 5 * 12.5 = 62.5 square cm

Maximum number of decimals for golden number?
I'm pretty sure the golden ration is irrational, meaning it has an infinitely long non-repeating sequence of numbers after the decimal.

If the diagonal measurement is 15 inches what is the length and height of a rectangle?
The answer can not be calucalted without additional information. If you only know the diagnol measurement, there are an infinite number of possible lengths for the adjoining sides. If this is a question regarding the sizing of TV screens, there are two current formats: standard, where the length to height ratio is 4:3; and letterbox (or widescreen) where the length to height ration is 16:9. Using these ratios and the diagnol length, you can calculate the length and height measurements by establishing: Length = 1.3333 * Height Then: (Diagonal)^2 = (Height)^2 + (1.3333 * Height)^2
