Key Points

This research aims to demonstrate how the golden ratio is geometrically encoded in the structure of regular pentagons.
Analytical exploration of the 36°-72°-72° isosceles triangle
Derivation of relationships involving the golden ratio using trigonometry
Examination of historical mathematical connections to ancient Sumerian/Babylonian systems.
Established that the diagonal-to-side ratio of a regular pentagon equals the golden ratio (φ ≈ 1.618)
Showed that relationships involving secants and angles (36° and 72°) are encoded in the pentagon's geometry
Connected the geometric properties of pentagons to quasicrystals and crystallography.

We only have this paper's title and publication details.
