Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the other side of a golden rectangle, multiply or divide the given side by the golden ratio $\varphi \approx 1.62$. For 1.6 inches, the other side is either $1.6 \times 1.62 = 2.592$ inches or $1.6 \div 1.62 \approx 0.9877$ inches, which rounds to 2.59 inches or 0.99 inches.
