Assuming that the base of pyramid as perfect square, has area value factor of golden proportion(1.618339 or square root of 5 divided by 2 plus 0.5),then the side of perfect square size factor becomes square root of golden proportion value as 1.2720196.

By having the height of a pyramid, hypotenuse of the right triangle, which is the height of side's isosceles triangles and the rest can be achieved geometrically and calculated numerically of a pyramid model layout.

Hight will be driven by multiplying square root facto by half the size of base.

All above calculations can be done with compass and a ruler without any given side size for base perfect square.

What could have been important for master builder to start with was probably proportions factor based on above assumption,base and height size.

For Giza case amazingly, multiplying 1.2720196 as a factor(square root of golden proportion value) by half the size of the base original side 115.2(original size of the base side:230.4),we have size of height as146.53665(compare with Giza pyramid original height size:146.59).

OR dividing hight to half size of square(given by dearresearchers),yuo have a factorvalue of 1.2724826 wich isclose enogh.

square root of GP is 1.2720196.

Genesis 6:15, God commanded Noah to build an ark saying, "And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits." The end of the ark is in a ratio of 5:3. 5 and 3 are Fibonacci numbers. They approximate the Golden Proportion at 1.667.

What is the golden ratio and where do you see it in the world around us?

The Golden Ratio is 0=1.61803. Also known as the Golden Mean or Golden Section. It is a system of proportion first discovered by the ancient Greeks, and described as the most pleasing proportion to the human eye. Sections of a line or shape are related to one another according to an ideal which can be expressed with an algebraic formula. Visually it is a rectangle containing squares, a spiral forms by connecting intersecting lines. Examples of the concho-spiral seen in nature are shells, pine cones and ram's horns.
