That is neat, I did not know this method of constructing a gold ratio. Once you have a golden ration it's easy to construct a pentagon (with straight-edge and compass).
I always like the equlateral triangle with the top half removed to for a rombus, the shape is used in the mosaic virus. now I understand my attraction to it, thanks!
No, we're upvoting the solid and novel (to many of us) mathematical derivation. I don't really mind what woo-woo statements sacred geometry enthusiasts make as long as the math checks out.
If you like this sort of thing, there's a game where you can solve these kinds of proofs: https://www.euclidea.xyz/en/game/packs/Alpha
not related directly, but there is a ui library that uses golden ratio for spacing. https://www.chainlift.io/liftkit
Recently read through The Power of Limits and deepened my appreciation for the golden ratio. https://www.shambhala.com/the-power-of-limits-1203.html

Are we really upvoting this on HN? Truly the end times have come.

Thanks! I didn't know this one either.
