What is the golden ratio of a snail shell?
The golden ratio or the Fibonacci number is apparent in many natural objects. This mathematical equation proves that by dividing a line in two parts, the longer part divided by the smaller part is also equal to the whole length divided by the long part.
How is the golden ratio derived?
The golden ratio (golden section) is the division of a line so that the whole is to the greater part as that part is to the smaller part (i.e., in a ratio of 1 to 1/2 (√5 + 1)), a proportion that is considered to be particularly pleasing to the eye.
Can someone explain simply what golden ratio is please?
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!
If 100 is divided by the ratio 64 how much is the larger part?
If you mean a ration of 6 to 4 then the larger part is 60
What is a minor arc in a circle?
It is the smaller of the 2 part divided between 2 radii
