Set the long side divided by the short of each rectangle equal to each other and also equal to the golden mean G. = = G Separate into two equations. = G = G Let a = 1, or b = 1, or solve right equation for a or b or invert it. Substitue into left equation. Below shows letting b = 1. = G = G Right equation shows: a = G. Subatitue this into left equation. = G (See note below) G + 1 = G² 0 = G² - G -1 Use quadratic formula. Find positive root. ≈ 1.618034 Note: Add subscrips to this formula to create a fixed point formula. (Gn + 1) / Gn = Gn+1 Set G0 to a positive seed value. If set to 1 then ten iterations gives G10 ≈ 1.618. |
