The golden rectangle is a special kind of rectangle that feels really balanced. If you divide it into a square and another smaller rectangle, the new one has the same proportions as the original, just like how your favorite picture frame might feel perfect to look at.
Examples
- A picture frame that looks just right, it’s a golden rectangle.
- The way leaves grow around a stem follows a pattern of golden rectangles.
- Even the shell of a snail spirals in the shape of a golden rectangle.
