What is the symbol for the golden ratio?
ϕ (PHI)
What does phi stand for?
In math, Phi, or the Golden ratio is approximatly 1.6180339887.Otherwise, Phi is how you pronounce a greek letter.
Where are golden rectangles used in architecture?
The Golden Rectangle was believed to be founded by Pythagoras. The Golden Rectangle was used for many Greek Buildings such as the Parthenon, and the Villa Stein.
What number is the golden ratio?
The golden ratio, or golden mean, or phi, is about 1.618033989. The golden ratio is the ratio of two quantities such that the ratio of the sum to the larger is the same as the ratio of the larger to the smaller. If the two quantities are a and b, their ratio is golden if a > b and (a+b)/a = a/b. This ratio is known as phi, with a value of about 1.618033989. Exactly, the ratio is (1 + square root(5))/2.
In a golden rectangle if the top and bottom lines of the rectangle are each 3 and one half inches how long would the side lines of the rectangle be?
To make it a golden rectangle the sides should be in 1:0.618 ratio. Lets say your width is made of a + b. a and b are in golden ratio. THis gives a + b = 3.5 <---- equ 1 b = .618 a (because they are in golden ratio) substitute to equ 1 1.618a = 3.5 a = 3.5/1.618 = 2.163 b = 1.336 now you can construct your sides with a = 2.163 to have a golden rectangle
What are the dimensions for the Golden Rectangle?
1 to phi
What is the number phi equal to?
The golden number? Phi = 1.61803398872...
Who constructed the golden rectangle?
when golden rectangle constructed?
How can the golden ratio of a recatangle be found?
Suppose you have a rectangle with long side (length) a and short side (breadth) b. Put it next to a square of sides a. This will make a rectangle with length a+b and breadth b.The rectabgles have sides in the Golden Ratio if(a + b)/a = a/b = phi.If you substitute b = 1 in the above ratio, you get phi as the root of a^2 - a - 1 = 0so that phi = [1 +/- sqrt(5)]/2 = 1.6180, approx, {and -0.6180}.
What is the motto of Phi Sigma Epsilon?
Phi Sigma Epsilon's motto is 'Golden Rule'.
What is the cosine of phi?
phi = [(1+sqrt(5)]/2 = 1.6180, the golden ratio. cosine(phi) = -0.0472 approx.

When creating a Golden Spiral each successive division of a Golden Rectangle into a square and a smaller Golden Rectangle is called an iteration?
true
How is the golden ratio worked out?
(a+b)/a=a/b=phi (the golden ratio, as defined) (a+b)/a=phi (we'll solve this equation) 1+b/a=phi (just changing the form of the left side a little) 1+1/phi=phi (a/b=phi so b/a=1/phi) phi+1=phi2 (multiply both sides by phi) phi2-phi-1=0 (rearrange) From here, we can use the quadratic equation to find the positive solution: phi=(-b+√(b2-4ac))/(2a) phi=(1+√(1+4))/2 phi=(1+√5)/2≈1.618
Is there a golden pentagon if there's a golden rectangle?
