In geometry, a golden rectangle is a rectangle with side lengths in golden ratio +:, or :, with approximately equal to 1.618 or 89/55. Golden rectangles exhibit a special form of self-similarity : if a square is added to the long side, or removed from the short side, the result is a golden rectangle as well.
A golden rectangle with long side a + b and short side a can be divided into two pieces: a similar golden rectangle (shaded red, right) with long side a and short side b and a square (shaded blue, left) with sides of length a. This illustrates the relationship a + b / a = a / b = φ.
Both volumes have formulas involving the golden ratio but are taken to different powers. [1] Golden rectangle may also related to both regular icosahedron and regular dodecahedron. The regular icosahedron can be constructed by intersecting three golden rectangles perpendicularly, arranged in two-by-two orthogonal, and connecting each of the ...
Derek Haylock [60] claims that the opening motif of Ludwig van Beethoven's Symphony No. 5 in C minor, Op. 67 (c. 1804–08), occurs exactly at the golden mean point 0.618 in bar 372 of 601 and again at bar 228 which is the other golden section point (0.618034 from the end of the piece) but he has to use 601 bars to get these figures. This he ...
A golden rectangle with long side a + b and short side a can be cut into two pieces: a similar golden rectangle with long side a and short side b (shaded red, right) and a square with sides of length a (shaded blue, left). This illustrates the relationship a + b / a = a / b = φ.

Construction of a golden rectangle Construct a simple square; Draw a line from the midpoint of one side of the square to an opposite corner; Use that line as the radius to draw an arc that defines the height of the rectangle; Use the endpoints of the arc to complete the rectangle; The proportions of the resulting rectangle is φ or
