Formula
length = width·φ, area = width·length, diagonal = √(width² + length²)
Where:
- width=Width
Worked Examples
Poster sizing
Compute golden rectangle from width 8.
- 1Multiply width by φ for length
- 2Area is width×length
- 3Diagonal uses √(w²+l²)
UI card frame
Start with width 3.
- 1Length = 3·φ
- 2Area from side product
- 3Use Pythagorean diagonal
Wall panel
Use width 12.5.
- 1Compute proportional length
- 2Compute area in square units
- 3Compute diagonal for material cut
Introduction
A golden rectangle has side ratio length/width = φ. Enter width to get the matching golden length, area, and diagonal in one step.
Formula Overview
Golden Rectangle Calculator uses a deterministic math model based on the calculator logic in calculation.ts.
length = width·φ, area = width·length, diagonal = √(width² + length²)
Inputs are validated before computation
Outputs are rounded consistently for readable results
Invalid values return safe fallback outputs
Input Guide
Use each input key exactly as defined below to match calculator wiring and test coverage.
- 1
width: Width
Output Guide
These output IDs map directly to the return object keys in calculation.ts.
- 1
width: Given rectangle width
- 2
length: Golden-ratio length, width·φ
- 3
area: Rectangle area = width × length
- 4
diagonal: Diagonal from Pythagorean theorem
Validation Rules
The calculator checks for finite numeric values and applies domain constraints before solving.
Required fields must be present
Domain limits are enforced (for example positive lengths or valid operators)
Invalid or non-finite entries resolve to safe defaults
Use examples to verify expected behavior quickly
How to Use
Enter inputs, run calculation, and interpret the primary output first before reviewing supporting values.
Provide all required inputs
Click calculate
Read primary output first
Use secondary outputs for deeper analysis
Practical Uses
This calculator supports classroom work, engineering checks, and fast verification tasks.
Homework and exam preparation
Design and geometry validation
Spreadsheet cross-checking
Quick scenario analysis
FAQs
What does the Golden Rectangle Calculator compute?
It computes Width, Length, Area from validated input values.
Which inputs are required?
Required inputs are: Width.
How are invalid values handled?
If inputs are invalid or out of domain, the calculator returns safe default outputs instead of invalid math.
Are results rounded?
Yes. Numeric values are rounded in calculation.ts (typically to six decimal places).
Can I use negative or decimal values?
Decimals are accepted where mathematically valid; sign/domain constraints are enforced by the calculator logic.
How can I verify results?
Use the worked examples and compare each output key with manual calculations or trusted references.
