SP #6: Unit K Concept 10


























Although these types of problems seem the easiest, they can become the trickiest of all due to the fact that there are several phases of which you can make silly mistakes. It is important to pay attention when it comes to knowing how many zeros go after the decimal and also when it comes to the dividing since they are fractions. You have to remember to multiply by the reciprocal and then another important part is making sure whether there is a number in front of the decimal like in this case. Remember to add it in the end and do not just forget like I almost did.

     Throughout this activity, the goal was to see who was the most mathematically beautiful by taking some measurements and then finding the average. In the end, who ever was the closet to 1.618 or anyone who actually hit that decimal was the most beautiful. As I measured and then  found the average I realized that the closest one was Leslie N. I think so she was the closest to being the "most beautiful". 
     I believe that the Fibonacci Beauty Ratio is not anything that should be considered when it comes to beauty. It seems rather stupid to me and just is not reasonable, everyone is beautiful in their own ways and this can just bring some people down. I do not think that people would use this method in order to see if a person was beautiful or not.
