The golden ratio is probably best understood
as the proportions 1:1.618. Of course, the mathematical equation at work here
is much more complicated than that.
·
Expressed as an equation, when a is larger
than b, (a + b) divided by a is equal to a divided by b (just look at the image
below), which is equal to about 1.618033987.
·
That number, often represented by the Greek
character "phi," is the golden ratio.
The same theory can be used to construct a rectangle,
called the golden rectangle
The human face follows the ratio as well, and we find
people whose faces are truer to the ratio more attractive.
