Recently in class we learned about the golden ratio. If you don’t know what that is then it is if theratio is the same as the ratio of their sum to the larger of the two quantities in rectangles. This is commonly shown as the ratio of 1:1.61803398875. We were to show this as an art project that showed an example of the golden ratio. Why is it important though? Well you can find it all around you, here are a few examples.

This is the golden ratio:

To start off what type of math project I wanted I looked for inspiration. I looked at all different types of art that featured the golden ratio.

I found a painting that I specifically liked:

This is what I made:

With the measurements:

Overall this is very interesting and I didn’t realize that the golden ratio is in so many places.
