The Great Pyramid of Egypt is one of the ancient wonders of the world. Its shape can be viewed as a regular square pyramid. The area of a square with side length equal to the height of the pyramid equals the area of one lateral triangular face of the pyramid. The ratio of the height of a lateral triangular face to the side length of the base square is A. $\frac { \sqrt { 5 } - 1 } { 4 }$ B. $\frac { \sqrt { 5 } - 1 } { 2 }$ C. $\frac { \sqrt { 5 } + 1 } { 4 }$ D. $\frac { \sqrt { 5 } + 1 } { 2 }$
