Question

Suppose you have a golden rectangle made out of paper and you fold it in half along its short side, so the fold is parallel to the longer side. Are the two halves Golden rectangles?

a. Yes
b. No

Answer 1

No, the two halves of the golden rectangle will not be golden rectangles after folding it in half along its short side.

Step-by-step explanation:

No, the two halves of the golden rectangle will not be golden rectangles after folding it in half along its short side.

A golden rectangle is a rectangle whose length-to-width ratio is the golden ratio, approximately 1.618. When you fold the rectangle in half along its short side, the resulting shape will have a different length-to-width ratio and will not fulfill the criteria of a golden rectangle.
