Statement of Inquiry:
The golden ratio can be found everywhere including nature and as well as
people. This task aims to inform us about how a simple rectangle can be
used in several things.
To the human eye, this face
might not look pretty but
according to mathematics, this
face is perfect!
How Does it Work?
The Golden Ratio is an Irrational Number, which means thats you cannot write it as a simple
fraction. For a matter of fact, its the furthest you can get from a simple fraction.
The Golden Ratio is special because its defined in terms of itself which can go on to fractions that go
on forever (continued fraction)
*Those whose faces average closest toward phi are considered attractive.*
Fibonacci Numbers
The Golden Ratio and the Fibonacci Numbers have a special
relationship.
Fibonacci Numbers: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377
The ratio is really close to the Golden Ratio if you put 2
successive fibonacci numbers together.
In order to calculate...
Here you can see that after you have m
easured
yourself,
you
have
to
divide
that
particular
num
ber by the other given num
ber. For each, it
has
to
be
closest
to
1.62
to
be
considered
m
athem
atically
beautiful,
you
then
add
these
num
bers
up
to
see
your
results
out
of
T
en.
Here, above a 6, is m
athem
atically beautiful.
Results...
These
celebrities
are
considered
m
athem
atically beautiful, and are beautiful.
After calculating the golden ration of a
hum
an, you get a score between 1-10 (from

least prefect face to the one that is closest
to
1.61803398875).

Because
its
a
stereotype that celebrities are beautiful, it
m
akes sense that celebrities rarely score
below a 6. 10 being you fit the ration
perfectly. And it also says that regular
people usually are ranked around 4-5.
Taylor Swifts trial

Using Taylor Swift as an
example; she nearly has
an ideal face. But, a lot
of people see her as
perfect. The length and
width of her face is not
in the proportion of the
golden ratio.
Most beautiful celebrities in comparison to the
Golden Ratio
1. Brad Pitt 9.67
2. Ryan Gosling 7.3
3. Angelina Jolie 7.13
4. Beyonce Knowles 7.28
5. Miley Cyrus 7.36
6. Kate Upton 7.46
7. John Mayer 6.42
8. Ben Affleck 6.55
9. George Clooney 6.77
10. Lena Dunham 6.82
However...
People might look stunning, and possibly mathematically beautiful; but they
re not. Take Jennifer Aniston, Angelina Jolie, and Cara Delevingne for
instance, they all DO NOT fit the Golden Ratio. Yet they are stunning!
Cara Delevingne
Jennifer Aniston
Angelina Jolie
We conclude,
This beauty myth is based on bad science, bad psychology, and really bad
math.
