What is a golden rectangle?

A golden rectangle is a rectangle where the ratio of the length of the short side to the length of the long side is proportional to the ratio of the length of the long side to the length of the short side plus the length of the long side. It is said to have the "most pleasing" shape or proportion of any rectangle. The math is like this, with the short side = s and the long side = l : s/l = l/s+l Links can be found below to check facts and learn more. In ratio terms, the Golden Rectangle has a width/height ratio of 1.618/1.

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
