Show Hint
- 1 : 1.414
- 1 : 1.5
- 1 : 2
- 1 : 1.618
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Traditional tatami mat size.
- Standard Japanese tatami mats are rectangular.
- Dimensions: length ≈ 1.91 m, width ≈ 0.955 m.
Step 2: Ratio calculation.
\[
\text{Ratio} = \frac{1.91}{0.955} \approx 2.0
\]
But tatami proportions are designed according to \(\sqrt{2}\), giving:
\[
\text{Ratio} = 1 : \sqrt{2} \approx 1 : 1.414
\]
Step 3: Check given options.
Only option (A) matches the traditional ratio.
Final Answer: \[ \boxed{1 : 1.414} \]
