The common belief is that the Greeks used the golden ratio (~1.618) for the relation between a building's length and its height. Mario Livio, who wrote a book on the golden ratio, claims that these ratios are actually somewhere between 1.4 and 2.0, so that may have been a myth.

What is an irational number?

An irrational number is a real number that cannot be expressed as a simple fraction or ratio of two integers. These numbers have non-repeating, non-terminating decimal expansions. Examples of irrational numbers include the square root of 2, pi, and the golden ratio. Irrational numbers are an essential part of mathematics and play a crucial role in various mathematical proofs and calculations.

What is the symbol for square foot?

The symbol, which I can never find on Microsoft Word's symbol list, is a hollow square with a single, vertical line through the middle. It's placed at the end of a number, such as 2,550[I] but imagine the box/line as intersecting and the top/bottom of the vertical line extending outside the box at both top and bottom. (I had to play with brackets, here) and either the same size font of the numbers or smaller, but never larger (not meant to overshadow the numbers). It's very common in the construction and architecture industry- especially when handwriting instructions or notes in order to avoid having to 'read' someone's handwriting (plus, it takes up slightly less space). For whatever reason, it's not available in most font/symbol options.
