The most famous of all 4 sided quadrilaterals is the 'Golden Rectangle' whose dimensions are in the ratio of about 1 to 1.618
The Golden Ratio is a constant = [1 + sqrt(5)]/2. There is, therefore, no higher or lower Golden Ratio.
In mathematics, two quantities are in the golden ratio if their ratio is the same as the ratio of their sum to the larger of the two quantities.
The main use for the golden ratio is its aesthetic appeal - in art and architecture. Rectangles with the golden ratio as their aspect appeal to the human mind (for some reason). So various aspects of the Parthenon in Athens, for example, have dimensions whose ratio is phi. Phi is closely related to the Fibonacci sequence: the ratio of successive terms of the sequence approaches phi and so, just like the Fibonacci sequence, phi appears in many natural situations. However, there is no particular application based on phi.
A great many things have the golden ratio in them varying from things fabricated by humans such as architecture, the proportions of the sides of a book also fall into the golden ratio. The golden ratio also occurs naturally for example the spiral in the snail's shell falls into the golden ratio. Generally most man made things have the golden ratio in them as it has been found quite simply, to look good.
