   A shell fits into a golden rectangle 8 inches long. What is the shell's width? Simplify to the most simplified radical.     

 

   The Length to Width ratio of a Golden Rectangle is 1.618 to 1.     

   The Width of the rectangle in this problem is 8 / 1.618 = 4.944.     

   You might wish to round 4.944 to 5 to observe significant digits.
