We are given the ratio
Long : short = 4:1
and the sum
Long+short=25
=>
long = 25*(long/(long+short)=25*(4/(4+1))=20
Short =25*(short/(long+short)=25*(1/4+1)=5

Fynjy0 [20]

The steps taken to find the √5 using the ancient method is;

5/G1 = 2.5

5/G2 = 2.222

5/G3 = 2.236

We want to find √5 with the ancient Babylonian method for calculating non-perfect squares;

We are told that G1 = 2

Thus;

5/G1 = 2.5

We are told to average 2.25 and G2 to get 2.236

This means that;

(2.25 + G2)/2 = 2.236

2.25 + G2 = 2 × 2.236

G2 = 4.472 - 2.25

G2 = 2.222

Second step is;

5/G2 = 2.222

Finally;

5/G3 = 2.236
