This is a short, animated visual proof of showing how to compute the value of the golden ratio (which is the positive number satisfying x=1+1/x) without using the quadratic formula explicitly. Instead, we use a Tatami diagram and compute the areas of the included rectangles and squares to find the total area of the outer square in two ways.. #manim #math #mathvideo #goldenratio #goldensection #mathshorts #geometry #animation #theorem #pww #proofwithoutwords #visualproof #proof #area #algebra #pww​​ ​ #proof​ #areas #mathematics​​ #mtbos
