Ratio on a line segment


S. McAdams, S. Pinion, & L. Stueve

Given a line segment AB, Construct a perpendicular segment BD such that 2BD = AB. Draw AD.



Mark point E on AD such that DE = DB:



Mark point F on AB such that AE = AF:



Find the ratio -- AF / BF:



This can be used to determine the golden proportions of any given segment AB!!!
