Golden rectangle

In geometry, a golden rectangle is a rectangle whose side lengths are in the golden ratio, ${\displaystyle 1:{\tfrac {1+{\sqrt {5}}}{2}}}$, which is ${\displaystyle 1:\varphi }$ (the Greek letter phi), where ${\displaystyle \varphi }$ is approximately 1.618.

Golden rectangles exhibit a special form of self-similarity: All rectangles created by adding or removing a square from an end are golden rectangles as well.
