This Challenge allegedly has deep connections to art, geometry and our psyche.
The Golden Ratio is calculated to be 1.618::1.
It describes a pattern that is found in sunflowers, playing cards, architecture and web design layout.
Here are two presentations of a Golden Rectangle where the sides are in Golden Ratio proportion:
Attachment 122576
Now it can be shown that the Golden Ratio is integral to the pentagon, where it is Diagonal Length::Edge Length:
It is therefore possible to construct the blue Golden Rectangle from this knowledge, as shown.
In this Challenge, I wish you to uncover a simpler construction of the Golden Rectangle.
