A line is subdivided according to the golden ratio, with a smaller piece having a length of 5 meters. What is the length of the entire line?

Respuesta :

The length of the entire line which is subdivided according to golden ratio is 13.09 meters.

What is Golden Ratio?

The golden ratio is a special number approximately equal to 1.618

We find the golden ratio when we divide a line into two parts so that, the whole length divided by the long part is also equal to the long part divided by the short part

Let smaller part of a line be b and long part be a

Golden ratio = a + b/a = a/b = 1.618

According to the given question:

Length of smaller part of line = 5 meters

Let the longer length of the line be x

∴ Total length of line = 5 + x

Using Golden ratio to find the entire length of line

x/5 = 1.618

x = 8.09

Calculating length of entire line = 5 + x = 5 + 8.09 = 13.09

∴ Length of entire line is 13.09 meters
