  2. Golden ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_ratio

    The golden ratio φ and its negative reciprocal −φ −1 are the two roots of the quadratic polynomial x 2 − x − 1. The golden ratio's negative −φ and reciprocal φ −1 are the two roots of the quadratic polynomial x 2 + x − 1. The golden ratio is also an algebraic number and even an algebraic integer.

  3. Golden rectangle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_rectangle

    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.

  4. The 10 to 1 ratio was an estimate made in 1972; current estimates put the ratio at either 3 to 1 or 1.3 to 1. [299] The total length of capillaries in the human body is not 100,000 km. That figure comes from a 1929 book by August Krogh, who used an unrealistically large model person and an inaccurately high density of capillaries.

    A golden triangle. The ratio a/b is the golden ratio φ. The vertex angle is =.Base angles are 72° each. Golden gnomon, having side lengths 1, 1, and .. A golden triangle, also called a sublime triangle, [1] is an isosceles triangle in which the duplicated side is in the golden ratio to the base side:

  7. Special right triangle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_right_triangle

    For example, a right triangle may have angles that form simple relationships, such as 45°–45°–90°. This is called an "angle-based" right triangle. A "side-based" right triangle is one in which the lengths of the sides form ratios of whole numbers, such as 3 : 4 : 5, or of other special numbers such as the golden ratio.

  9. Fibonacci sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci_sequence

    Fibonacci numbers are also strongly related to the golden ratio: Binet's formula expresses the n-th Fibonacci number in terms of n and the golden ratio, and implies that the ratio of two consecutive Fibonacci numbers tends to the golden ratio as n increases.
