In any golden rectangle the following poreperty should hold:

[tex]\frac{a+b}{a}=\frac{a}{b}[/tex]

where a+b is the length and a is the width. We know that the length of the rectangle is 1, then:

[tex]\begin{gathered} a+b=1 \\ b=1-a \end{gathered}[/tex]

Plugging this values in the first equation we have:

[tex]\frac{1}{a}=\frac{a}{1-a}[/tex]

Solving this equation for a:

[tex]undefined[/tex]
