Best Answer

No.

The ratio (length : width) of the sides of a sheet of the A series of papers (of which A4 is one) is √2 : 1 ≈ 1.414 : 1

Alternatively, the ratio can be expressed as 1 : 1/√2 ≈ 1 : 0.707

A golden rectangle has sides in the ratio (length : width) of φ : 1 = (√5 + 1)/2 : 1 ≈ 1.618 : 1

Alternatively, the ratio can be expressed as 1 : 1/φ = 1 : 2/(√5 + 1) = 1 : (√5 - 1)/2 ≈ 1 : 0.618

No. The golden ratio is approximately 1.618. The A4 paper uses something known as the Lichtenberg ratio 1:sqrt(2).

That's why A4 is exactly half the size of an A3 sheet, and A3 is exactly half of an A2 sheet, and so on.
