wat is the number phi?

Question

nope i don't mean pi

Answer 1

phi is a greek letter. it is often used as a variable for many things depending on what field of science you are in. Example, at my engineering job phi is the LRFD factor of safty.

I think you might be asking about PI which is 3.14...

Answer 2

Pi, Look it up in a math book. The easy one right now is 3.14 but then it never stops and this is the most accurate reading yet. And read what the other people have to say so that will also help you. I wish you luck in math because your going to need it.

For centuries, pi has been the classic long-digit number to memorize. Most people memorize a few digits (3.14159) without any special technique. Some people can memorize a lot more. Using pseudonums, you can easily memorize memorize a dozen digits, or several hundred. You memorize words, and then spell the numbers from the sounds of the words, just like you usually spell letters. You don't have to write the words down to spell them as numbers. If you want to see how i mean it never ends... take a look. Hope i helped you and if you need any more help just e mail me or something. Bye!

If u dont mean "pi" then Phi means the Greek letter (the classical Greek pronounciation is "fee") representing the proportions of a golden rectangle. Phi is the ratio of the long side to the short side. Divide the long side by the short side, and you get Phi. Phi is approximately equal to 1.618. The golden rectangle shown here expands in a counter-clockwise rotational pattern. The larger the rectangle grows, the more "golden" it becomes. Its proportions become closer and closer to the actual value of Phi. If you draw a curve along the outer edges where each colored square meets the next, you will see a perfect spiral growth pattern. This spiral can be seen in some flowers and seashells. The sunflower and the nautilus are two of the best examples. (phi)

(hope this is what your lookin for)

Answer 3

21

Answer 4

phi is the ratio you get when you divide the "golden rectangle's" length by its width. This always gives a length-to-width ration of 1.618. This ratio is found everywhere we have searched in nature. It is found in art, sculpture, the human body, plants, and more. This number was probably made famous to those outside of the math and sciences by Dan Brown's book, "The Davinci Code."

Answer 5

Phi is the "golden ratio"... About 1.618...

It is considered a divine number. If you divide the total length of your arm from shoulder to finger tip, by the lenght of elbow to finger tip you get about that number. Same with hip to toe/knee to toe. Nautilus, leaves, and many other things have been found to have ratio matching very close to the golden ratio.

Answer 6

Phi is considered to be "the golden number" it is a ratio between two lengths such that on a line a-----b---------c the ratio between the segments ab, ac and bc, ac. It is used in many forms like the golden rectangle, golden spiral etc. and can manifest itself in many forms in nature. Like sunflowers, nautilus shells etc.

Answer 7

Golden ratio of 1.6/1.

Answer 8

I think its 1.618 according to one of the Dan Brown books...

Answer 9

Perhaps you are thinking of pi. 3.1416 etc.

Answer 10

1.618/1
