2. A Golden Rectangle is a rectangle in which the
ratio of the length to the width is the Golden
Ratio. The Ratio is equal to
1.618033988749894842, or 1.62.
In other words:
What ever the width of the rectangle
is, multiply it by 1.62 to get the length.
3. If you have a Golden Rectangle and you cut
a square off it so that what remains is a
rectangle, that remaining rectangle will
also be a Golden Rectangle. You can keep
cutting these squares off and getting
smaller and smaller Golden Rectangles.
For Example . . . . . . . .
4. As you can see, no
matter how may times
you cut squares out of
a golden rectangle, you
will still end up with a
golden rectangle.
5. HISTORY

used since ancient times. The reason for the
golden rectangle's charm is that it is

recognizable as human.
9. The prefect smile; the two front teeth
form a golden rectangle (which is
said to be one of the most visual,
satisfying, of forms, as it is formed
with sides of 1 and 1.618.)
10. A= 17
B= y
In order to find the length, multiply
17 by 1.62.
1.62
x 17
27.54
11. - Use a tape measure.
- Measure from your pupil to your chin.
- Then, Measure your forehead.
- Then divide the two measurements.
- If you get an answer close to 1.62, your face is almost
considered a golden face.
