L = Length
W = Width
L / W = ( 1 + sqrt 5 ) / 2
Reciprocally :
W / L = 1 / [ ( 1 + sqrt 5 ) / 2 ]
W / L = 2 / [ ( 1 + sqrt 5 ) ] Multiply both sides by L
W = 2 L / 2 / [ ( 1 + sqrt 5 ) ]
W = 2 * 32 / [ ( 1 + sqrt 5 ) ]
W = 64 / [ ( 1 + sqrt 5 ) ]
W = Width
L / W = ( 1 + sqrt 5 ) / 2
Reciprocally :
W / L = 1 / [ ( 1 + sqrt 5 ) / 2 ]
W / L = 2 / [ ( 1 + sqrt 5 ) ] Multiply both sides by L
W = 2 L / 2 / [ ( 1 + sqrt 5 ) ]
W = 2 * 32 / [ ( 1 + sqrt 5 ) ]
W = 64 / [ ( 1 + sqrt 5 ) ]

This is a horrible explanation that is hard to understand.
