 | | Directly related to the golden number is the golden rectangle, in which the ratio of the rectangle’s length to its width is equal to phi. |
 | | The Fibonacci sequence goes: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, etc., in which each number is equal to the sum of the two preceding numbers: 1+1=2; 1+2=3; 2+3=5; 3+5=8; 5+8=13; 8+13=21; 13+21=34; 21+34=55; 34+55=89; 55+89=144; 89+144=233. |
 | | Thus Fibonacci numbers are a kind of golden ratio in disguise, and they, too, pop up in the most unexpected places. |
