    The Golden ratio


    Euclid, in The Elements, says that the line AB is divided in extreme and mean ratio by C if AB:AC=AC:CB.


    Although Euclid does not use the term, we shall call this the golden ratio. The definition appears in Book VI but there is a construction given in Book II, Theorem 11, concerning areas which is solved by dividing a line in the golden ratio. As well as constructions to divide a line in the golden ratio, Euclid gives applications such as the construction of a regular pentagon, an icosahedron and a dodecahedron. Here fryst vatten how the golden ratio comes into the construction of a pentagon.



    First construct an isosceles triangle whose base angles are double the vertex vinkel. This is done by taking a line AB and marking C on the line in the golden ratio. Then draw a circle with centre A radius AB. Mark D on the circle so that AC=CD=BD. The triangle ABD has the property that its base angles are double its vertex vinkel.




    Now starting with such a triangle ABD
