minus-squareTangent5280@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up14·1 year agoWait, is that true? Is there something special about that ratio in particular that lets it conserve ratio when dividing?

minus-squarecygnus@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up35·1 year agoYes it’s true. It’s the square root of 2, which is why it works.

minus-squareUndercoverUlrikHD@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up8·edit-21 year agoHere you go, proof at ~2 min in. Edit: for those who don’t want to use YouTube anymore. 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.
