14. Dr. Kendra Schmidt, an assistant professor of biostatistics, uses the golden ratio to study the
facial sex appeal. She conjectures that beauty or sex appeal is related to the proportions of
facial features which happen to follow the golden ratio. Based on this conjecture, check how
close your facial proportions are to the golden ratio. Measure the length and width of your
face. Then divide the length by the width. Is the result roughly the golden ratio? If yes, then you
are beautiful by Dr. Schmidt’s conjecture.
Given:
Length: 22cm
Width: 14cm
Solution: 22/14
Answer: 1.6
The result is 1.6 and it is considered a golden ratio. For Dr. Kendra Schmidt if the your facial
features is exactly as the size of golden ratio, you’re handsome.
15. The golden ratio (shoulder to waist) is the most important ratio for achieving the body
proportions like that of a Greek God. Now, measure your shoulder circumferences and then
your waist size w. Then divide s by w. Is the result roughly the golden ratio? If not, then what
must be your ideal waist size to get the golden ratio?
Given:
S: 113cm
W: 91cm
Solution: 113/91
Answer: 1.2
The result is very far from the golden ratio. My waist size should be 70cm to be considered as
golden ratio and to get the result of 1.6
