Interestingly, the Golden Ratio is used in art. There are many discussions on what makes a beautiful picture or a handsome man/pulchritudinous woman.
In facial plastic surgery, the surgeon tries for the golden ration in the eye width, cheek bone width, distance from the lips/nose/eyes, etc.
In advertising, products will have logos or pix that have figures or features displayed in such a way as to satisfy the ratio.
And the ratio is 1.61803....

The value of the Golden Mean is (sqrt(5)+1)/2. It appears in many unusual places. For example, the limit of the ratio of a Fibonacci number to its predecesssor is exactly the Golden Mean. It is the value that satisfies the equation. x^2=x+1. Solving using the quadradic equation, you get (1 +/- sqrt(5))/2. It is represented by Φ, the Greek letter phi.
It has an approximate value of 1.618034.
