In mathematics, the supergolden ratio is a geometrical proportion close to 85/58. Its true value is the real solution of the equation x3 = x2 + 1.

The name supergolden ratio results from analogy with the golden ratio, the positive solution of the equation x2 = x + 1.

A triangle with side lengths ψ, 1, and 1 ∕ ψ has an angle of exactly 120 degrees.[1]
