Last updated: June 2026 | By Patchworkr Team

Math check: length / width = phi, where phi = (1 + sqrt(5)) / 2
Result
Enter one side length to compute the rectangle.

Formula

phi = (1 + sqrt(5)) / 2
length = width x phi
width = length / phi

How to Use It

  1. Choose whether your known side is the length or the width.
  2. Enter a positive measurement.
  3. Read the computed rectangle dimensions and derived values.

Worked Example

If the length is 10, the width is 10 / phi = 6.18034.

The ratio length / width is about 1.618034, which is the golden ratio.

Notes

This calculator uses the standard golden ratio definition and keeps the relationship exact.
