Explore the Golden Ratio in Real Life Objects
Loading the math board and drawing, please wait…
This example explores the golden ratio in real-life objects. The golden ratio is a special mathematical proportion commonly found in nature and art. Using commands like Segment, If, Polygon, and RotateText, a geometric figure containing the golden ratio is created. Suitable for middle school and above students to learn about the concept and application of the golden ratio.
