What can you say about the ratios from numbers 1 to 5?

We acquire the ratio by rounding it to the ten thousandths of a percent. A ratio is a comparison of
two or more numbers that shows how large they are in contrast to one another. A ratio compares
two quantities by dividing them, with the dividend or number being divided being referred to as
the antecedent and the divisor or number dividing being referred to as the consequent.

What can you say about the ratios from numbers 1 to 5?

Ratios represent how one quantity is related to another quantity. The ratio there is the least number
in the sense it has the worst approximation of two integers that has a smaller number into a big
number.

What can you say about the ratios from numbers 1 to 5?

The ratio representing the two numbers is divided to have a quotient. Where the first number that
is divided is called dividend while the second number is called divisor it is the one that divides the
dividend to have a result called the quotient.

These numbers represent and are trying to show whether the golden ratio exists in our body.
Though the number doesn’t immediately show patterns, if you take the measurement of the other
part of the body then we can really see how obvious the golden ratio exists in every human body.

What can you say about the ratios from numbers 1 to 5?

There are numerous possible ratios in the body, many of which fall somewhere between 1 and 2.
If you consider enough of them, you will undoubtedly come up with numbers that are close to the
value of the golden ratio (around 1.618). This is particularly true if the things you're measuring
aren't particularly well-defined, and it's possible to change the definition to get the proportions
you're looking for.

Critical Thinking:
What is your conclusion based on the summary data of your group members?

The golden ratio is well-known and occurs naturally in our bodies. Starting with the human
head and working down to the lower body. Our bodies and the golden ratio have distinct
measurements. As you can see the B/A part, which is the distance between our knees and the
ground divided by the distance between our belly button and the ground, has the highest ratio. Our
desire for another person's body grows. Our bodies are aware of the golden ratio. Many of the
proportions in the human body are said to be based on the golden ratio. The shape of our hands,
the distance between our knees and the ground, and the ratio of the height of the navel to the height
of the body are all examples. The golden ratio embodies the optimal proportions of the human
body, according to the analysis of our data. Even artists, scientists, and designers employ the
golden ratio when conducting research and creating creations. Hence, the golden ratio is a
mathematical constant with an irrational value of 1.618.

And also, it is important to recognize what symbolizes the golden ratio. Usually, a decrease
increases. And it has a special number approximately equal to the data above. Therefore, we
conclude that in using the golden ratio the two numbers will sum up a lower number and it is
proven that the golden ratio is linked to nearly every proportion of the ideal human body. Using
our body as an instrument for having a golden ratio result in each measurement of our body but as
the measurements of the parts of the body are increasing and decreasing, also its result will increase
and decrease.
