The Golden Section


The Golden Section is based on a ratio which results in phi

Take a line and divide it so that the ratio of the large piece (B) to the whole line (A) is the same as the ratio as the small piece (C) to the large piece (B):

Sectioning a line to form the Golden Section

So A is 161.8% of B and B is 161.8% of C.


This ratio has been used by mankind for centuries

Its use started as early as with the Egyptians in the design of the pyramids,
