minus-squareTangent5280@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up14·7 months agoWait, is that true? Is there something special about that ratio in particular that lets it conserve ratio when dividing?

minus-squarecygnus@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up35·7 months agoYes it’s true. It’s the square root of 2, which is why it works.

If a is the long side and b is the short side of a rectangle. Halving the rectangle will make the long side b and the short side 1/2 a. If the ratio is preserved when halving, we get: a/b=b/(1/2 a) a2*=2*b2 a2*/*b2=2 a/b=sqrt(2)

Wait, is that true? Is there something special about that ratio in particular that lets it conserve ratio when dividing?
And IIRC, A0 is 1m²
There also is B0, which is exactly 1 by the root of 2 meters.
Beautiful.
Yes it’s true. It’s the square root of 2, which is why it works.
Legend has it that Leonardo da Vinci came up with it
Legend has it he came up with catgirl memes, too.

a2*=2*b2
a2*/*b2=2
a/b=sqrt(2)
