Golden RectanglesThe golden ratio is about 1:1.61To create a rectangle with this golden ratio: - Draw a square.

- Extend two parallel sides.

- Draw a line from the midpoint of one side of the square to the opposite corner.

- Using the line you just drew as a radius, draw an arc between the twoparallel lines.

- Draw a perpendicular line from between the parallel lines from the intersection of the arc on the bottom line.

- You now have a golden rectangle.
