%N Decimal expansion of (sqrt(3) + sqrt(7))/2.

%C Decimal expansion of the length/width ratio of a sqrt(3)-extension rectangle. See A188640 for definitions of shape and r-extension rectangle.

%C A sqrt(3)-extension rectangle matches the continued fraction [2,5,3,2,2,9,1,2,1,2,1,9,...] for the shape L/W=(sqrt(3)+sqrt(7))/2. This is analogous to the matching of a golden rectangle to the continued fraction [1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,...]. Specifically, for the sqrt(3)-extension rectangle, 2 squares are removed first, then 5 squares, then 3 squares, then 2 squares, ..., so that the original rectangle of shape (sqrt(3)+sqrt(7))/2 is partitioned into an infinite collection of squares.
