  1. Can we Determine if a Woman is Beautiful with the Golden Ratio? Laura Trojanova

  2. What is the Golden Ratio • The golden ratio is a special number approximately equal to 1.618 • It appears many times in geometry, art, architecture and other areas. • It is closely related to beauty and it is said to be that these dimensions create a shape that is aesthetically pleasing.

  3. History of The Golden Ratio • Ancient Greek mathematicians first studied what we now call the golden ratio because of its frequent appearance in geometry.  • 490–430 BC • Later appeared in architecture and art

  4. Testing • I took six celebrities and asked people to rate them either pretty, or ugly. • After that I counted how close the size of their dimensions was to the golden ratio, and put them in order from prettiest to ugliest

  5. How do you calculate the Golden Ratio? • Measure and record the following aspects of each person’s face, to the nearest tenth of a centimeter: • (A) Top of the head to the chin • (B)Top of the head to the pupil • (C) Pupil to the tip of the nose • (D) Pupil to the lip • (E) Width of the nose • (F) Outside distance between the eyes • (G) Width of the head • (H) Hairline to the pupil • (I) Tip of the nose to the chin • (J) Lips to the chin • (K) Length of the lips • (L) Tip of the nose to the lips

  6. How do you calculate the Golden Ratio? • Calculate the following ratios for each celebrity: A/G B/D I/J I/C E/L F/H K/E • Divide them, and then find the mean of all the numbers. • Compare it to the Golden Ratio

  7. Sarah Benhard Rated as ugly 1.42 4. Kirsten Stewart Rated as pretty 1.366 Renee Zellweger Rated as ugly 1.41 5. Cher Rated as ugly 1.31 6.Rachel McAdams Rated as pretty 1.27 3. Megan Fox Rated as Pretty 1.39

  8. Conclusion • According to my research the golden ratio may work in geometry and architecture but not in faces and people. • We can not calculate beauty, because we do not know what determines it.
