The smaller rectangle is not as big as the original rectangle, but its dimensions still have the same ratio, which turns out to be , a quantity known as the Golden Ratio. This ratio was know to the ancient Greeks as the “extreme and mean ratio” and ever since then has generated more hoopla then almost anything else in mathematics; some of it interesting and some of it of dubious value. If you Google “golden ratio” ...
