Help WOLF

[tired saddle]

ok what u need help with

this is golden ratio

[novel cipher]

if ratio between rectangle sides is equal to golden ratio then the rectangle is golden

What do I do next?

Golden Rectangle

[foggy imp]

.

so if long side/short side = 1.618, the rectangle is golden

[novel cipher]

👋🏿

[foggy imp]

the golden ratio is (1+sqrt5)/2

[novel cipher]

this divided = 1.618?

[foggy imp]

more or less

its irrational

but thats how many digits i can remember

[novel cipher]

ok

one sec

They are same value, so the rectangle is golden

How to I find exact value of the long side of rectangle?

[earnest bane]

not quite
you need to simplify it to exactly 1+sqrt5 / 2

note that 8/5 also simplifies to 1.6

[novel cipher]

ok

This proccess

to find out they are equal

[earnest bane]

yup

[novel cipher]

Ty

do you know how to find long side?

[novel cipher]

.

I know it's 1/2

[earnest bane]

wdym long side

the diagonal?

[novel cipher]

Exact value of that

[earnest bane]

4?

[novel cipher]

idk bro

look

[earnest bane]

the question says its just 4

[novel cipher]

???

I don't understand what they mean

l = the side which i drew blue circle around

[earnest bane]

is that the ansewr to another question

[novel cipher]

yes

Answer to long side

[earnest bane]

okay yea that dosent really matter here

[novel cipher]

ye but how do i do it?

[earnest bane]

if you know one side

lets just say the 4 magically dissapeared

[novel cipher]

ye

[earnest bane]

we know that $\frac{\sqrt{5}+1}{2} = \frac{x}{2\sqrt5 -2}$

[wind zealot]

!𒐪 ɹɐupoɯ⇂ㄥ8𝟝 𒐪!

[earnest bane]

and you just solve for x

[novel cipher]

x?

oh

long side

long side / short side to see ratio

[novel cipher]

ye

[novel cipher]

ty

[river quail]

@novel cipher has given 1 rep to @earnest bane

[novel cipher]

Wait

[earnest bane]

yup

[novel cipher]

Short side here is 1/1+sqrt(5)?

?`tf

[earnest bane]

wdym

[earnest bane]

thats the ansewr to another question

[novel cipher]

bro

wtf happened to 2sqrt(5) - 2?

how is that not used to find long side?

[earnest bane]

^

[novel cipher]

`?

OHHHHHH

THAT JUST RATIO OF it

Here...

Ty bro I understand this

[earnest bane]

yay

[novel cipher]

Ty all
