The Golden Ratio is often denoted by the Greek letter phi: φ. Its exact value is 1+52 which is approximately equal to 1.618.
In this chapter, we saw how successive quotients of the Fibonacci Numbers get closer and closer to the Golden Ratio:
11=1, 21=2, 32=1.5, 53=1.67, 85=1.6, 138=1.625, 2113=1.615, …
Many people believe that the Golden Ratio, Golden Rectangles, and the Fibonacci Numbers "appear" in the real world in places such as:
Art
Architecture
Nature
Give one example of such an "appearance" in art, architecture, nature, or someplace else in the real world and post your findings.

One example of the Golden Ratio appearing in art is in Leonardo da Vinci's painting, the Mona Lisa. The Golden Ratio can be observed in the dimensions and composition of the painting. If you draw lines to divide the canvas into different sections, the ratios of these sections closely approximate the Golden Ratio. Additionally, the positioning of the figure within the frame and the placement of elements like the horizon and the background landscape follow the principles of the Golden Ratio. This suggests that da Vinci intentionally incorporated the Golden Ratio in the construction of the artwork to create aesthetic balance and harmony.
