Explanation

Funny how a small dimension change makes a noticeable difference!

The golden ratio is a special number approximately equal to 1.6180339887

It appears many times in geometry, art, architecture and other areas.

In geometry, a golden rectangle is one whose side lengths are in the golden ratio ( 1:1.6180339887 approximately).

For example, if we want to design a frame, a picture, a business card, a poster, an item for the home or other object, we decide a suitable measure and insert its value here.

The calculation gives us two useful measures to complete the design of the object. We use the measurement of the left field in blue if the entered length corresponds to the shorter measurements, we use instead the right, always in a blue field, in the case that the measure inserted is the longest.

If we follow these instructions, each object will be proportioned according to the golden rule, followed by artists, designers, by the best craftsmen.

In fact, a rectangle with sides as a segment and its golden section, is called the golden rectangle.
