The golden ratio appears when you divide a line, call it "a + b", into two parts, "a" and "b", such that the ratio b / a is the same as (a + b) / b. In words: the ratio of the total length to one of its parts is equal to the ratio of this part to the other part. This ratio (for example, b / a) is exactly (1 + square root of 5) / 2, or about 1.618. Its reciprocal (in the example, a / b) is one less: about 0.618.
My reply: Thank you Hilmarz! But I just found out a more simple way for stupid people like me! XD The golden ratio is when you divide a line into two unequal parts, so that the whole length divided by the longer part is equal to the longer part divided by the smaller part! But if I ever become a genius, I'll come back here and re-read your version!

How do you find a centre of circle when we have a right triangle and a circle We need to find the centre of circle. Can someone please help me?
If the sides of the triangle are equal in length to the radius of the circle, then you can simply place the two ends of the hypotenuse on the perimeter of the circle, and it's remaining corner will lie at the circle's center.
Why is a quarter plus a quarter a half .How can I explain this to someone in fractions?
1/4 + 1/4 = 2/4. If the denominators are equal, you simply add the numerators. 2/4 = 1/2. To simplify a fraction, you can divide numerator and denominator (top and bottom part) by the same number, in this case, 2.
