The Golden Ratio Theory


GOLDEN RATIO

In mathematics, two quantities are in the golden ratio if their ratio is the same as the ratio of their sum to the larger of the two quantities. The figure on the right illustrates the geometric relationship.
Simply, the golden ratio (also called the golden rectangle and golden mean) is a shape with a proportion of 1 to 1.618. More complexly, the math can be described like this as explained by the Interaction Design Foundation: Each number in the Fibonacci sequence is simply the sum of the two numbers before it.

The Actual Value
(A+B is to A as A is to B)
The Golden Ratio is equal to: 1.61803398874989484820... (etc.)

Golden ratio in architecture : -
The largest of the pyramids in Giza contains the use of phi and the golden ratio.The golden ratio is represented as the ratio of the length/height of the triangular face to half the length of the square base.

Golden ratio in everything : -
A cosmic constant known as the 'golden ratio' is said to be found in the shape of hurricanes, elephant tusks and even in galaxies. Now researchers say this ratio is also seen in the topology of space-time, affecting the entire universe as a whole.

Golden ratio in nature : -
The golden ratio is about 1.618, and represented by the Greek letter phi, Φ. ... The golden ratio is sometimes called the "divine proportion," because of its frequency in the natural world. The number of petals on a flower, for instance, will often be a Fibonacci number.
