D C E ono clues neobibull amo? F A Figure 4.4.12 B In Fig. 4.4.12, ABCD is what is called a golden rectangle. Golden rectangles have the property that if a square is constructed within the rectangle as shown in Fig. 4.4.1, the rectangle that remains is similar to the initial golden rectangle. In the figure, AEFB is a square and EFCDBCDA. Use this similarity to determine the value of A, a value known as the golden ratio. AB
