History
Golden ratio in geometry & mathematics
Not only is the golden ratio a value in the mathematics...
Furthermore, the Golden Ratio can be found in different kinds of shapes. This goes on from the usual rechangle, through different kinds of triangles and to the very complicated shapes like the pentacle.
A rectanle is a Golden rectangle when the sides are in the 1:0,618 proportion. Below is an example of this kind of shape.
Another shape where the golden ratio can be found is the Pentagramm. This image below, illustrates the hidden golden ratio in this very special shape.
