Golden rectangle

Introduction The “golden” number, 1.61803399, is known as the golden ratio (Livio). Artists such as Leonardo Da Vinci and Raphael used the golden ratio in many of their most famous artworks. How did the golden ratio increase the popularity of their artworks? The golden ratio seen in artworks is thought to be more appealing and pleasing to an audience because the geometric proportions are easy for the eyes to scan. The eye is able to scan an image the fastest when it is shaped as a golden ratio rectangle (Livio). For this Internal Assessment, the data collected from the number of Google Search hits of ten chosen artworks over a week, from two artists will be analyzed and compared to the golden ratio (size and area of the rectangles), and to…

equal circles and inscribe them within a semicircle. The ratio of the radius of the semicircle to the diameter of the small circles is the golden ratio, ϕ. Another more classical shape, the golden rectangle, which can be easily constructed from a unit square, has the dimensions of 1:ϕ. By removing the unit square, one is left with the rectangle ϕ-1: 1, which is similar to the original rectangle. From this we get, 1: ϕ=1:(ϕ-1) which is nicely reduced to ϕ2-ϕ-1=0. Solving this equation for phi…

it a fulfilling endeavor. Let’s get started, shall we? This pattern is for a heart quilt block that you can sew on the front of a pillow. It’s lovely, and it’s a relatively simple pattern to make – so you can still do this in time for Valentine’s Day. To do this project, you will need: •three fabrics of your choice, which we’ll refer to as Fabric 1, Fabric 2, and Fabric 3 •cutting mat (I use a combination cutting mat and ironing board to streamline the entire process) •iron •fabric…

by their properties or components. For example, they will learn that a square has four right angles and four sides of equal length and the diagonals of a square are equal (p. 318).According to the article, the students will learn the relations between different shapes. This concept goes along with Van Hiele’s Level 3 which is the Abstract and Relational level. In this level, the students will “form abstract definitions and classify figure by elaborating on their interrelationship.” In the third…

A Description of the Problem For the problem-solving report, we have a 4x4 grid that we have to find as many rectangles as we can. The rectangles that can be found on the 4x4 grid ranges from 1x1 rectangles to a 4x4 rectangle. According to MathisFun.com a rectangle is, “a 4-sided flat shape with straight sides where all interior angles are right angles (90°). Also opposite sides are parallel and of equal length. Example: Another factor we have to consider is the lines provided on the 4x4 grid…

number is known as the Golden Ratio. In fact, our brains are seemingly hard-wired to prefer objects and images that use the Golden Ratio. The Golden Ratio is the limit of the ratios of successive terms of the Fibonacci sequence. The Fibonacci ratio is very close to the Golden ratio. The mathematical ideas the Fibonacci Sequence leads to, the Golden Ratio, and the Golden Spirals. As the number increases, the ratio becomes closer to 1.618. For instance, the ratio of 3 to 5 is 1.666. But the ratio…

One reason was because in 1889 the United States was full of poverty. So Mother Cabrini organized catechism and classes. She also provided the essentials for those who needed them. ("Mother Cabrini") Mother Cabrini also founded 67 ministry institutions. One of the camps was Queen of Heaven Camp In Golden, Colorado. The summer camp was for orphan girls. In the camp there is a 22 ft tall statue of Jesus (Colorado Virtual) Another reason was because in New York at the time there were about…

past term approaches, with ever more noteworthy exactness the higher the terms, a proportion of roughly 1 : 1.6180339887. This quality is alluded to as the Golden Ratio, otherwise called the Golden Mean, Golden Section, Divine Proportion, and so on, and is typically meant by the Greek letter phi φ (or at times the capital letter Phi Φ). Basically, two amounts are in the Golden Ratio if the proportion of the whole of the amounts to the bigger amount is equivalent to the proportion of the bigger…

As technology advances, scientists and business moguls are finding new ways to genetically modify food products to meet the growing demand for food. However, the average consumer is oblivious to what is entering their body when they consume these genetically modified foods that are not required by law to be labeled. Nina Fedoroff’s, “Engineering Food for All”, is an editorial stating that there is no harm in utilizing genetically modified organisms to feed everybody. She also states that there…

environment through the pesticides used, the decrease in nutrition, and cross- pollination. One of the main purposes for creating genetically modified foods was to create foods that are higher in nutrition. But, as studies show, when you try to increase the presence of a vitamin or mineral in a product through genetically engineering process, other essential vitamins or minerals that occur naturally in that food are shown to be deficient. Genetically modified foods contain less nutrition…
