Guide: Golden Ratio
What it does
Divides T into T/φ and T − T/φ.
How to use it
Enter total length, then split.
Formula
Long = T/φ; short = T − long; φ = (1+√5)/2.
Example
100 units → long ≈ 61.8, short ≈ 38.2.
FAQs
Is φ used in nature everywhere?
Often overstated; still a useful design proportion.
Which segment is “long”?
Typically the longer segment relates to the whole as φ:1 in classic constructions.
UI spacing?
Use rem/px consistently after you compute the split.
