Challenge #493: The Golden Rectangle Ratio

[AYXAcademy]

Hi Community members,

A solution to last week’s challenge can be found here.

This challenge was submitted by Geetika Tadlimbekar, @stataltgee. Thank you, Geetika, for your submission!

The Golden Rectangle is often considered one of the most aesthetically pleasing shapes in art and architecture. This proportion appears in famous works such as the Mona Lisa and the Parthenon. In this challenge, your goal is to analyze a dataset of rectangles and identify those that most closely match the Golden Ratio.

Tasks

1. Calculate the ratio (longer side divided by shorter side) for each rectangle in the dataset.
2. Identify the top 4 rectangles whose ratios are closest to the Golden Ratio (approximately 1.618).

Once you have completed your challenge, include your solution file and a screenshot of your workflow as attachments to your comment.

Good Luck!

I looked up the actual formula for the Golden Ratio to get the exact same answer.

I tried with the approximate value 1.618 and the calculated value ( 1 + sqrt(5) ) / 2, but got the same outcome.

Completed.

I did not quite get the need for last sorting since #47 is closest.
