Golden Ratio Calculator

Find a golden-ratio split from a total, long or short segment. Provide Known segment, Known length to compute results directly in your browser. phi=(1+sqrt(5))/2; longer/shorter=phi. All outputs share the supplied length unit; zero length is a degenerate split. Inputs and results use floating-point numbers; output shows up to 12 significant digits. Rounding can occur.
