%N Decimal expansion of sqrt(7)+sqrt(8).
%C Decimal expansion of the length/width ratio of a sqrt(28)-extension rectangle. See A188640 for definitions of shape and r-extension rectangle.
%C A sqrt(28)-extension rectangle matches the continued fraction [5,2,9,5,2,687,6,4,1,2,2,...] for the shape L/W=sqrt(7)+sqrt(8). 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(28)-extension rectangle, 5 squares are removed first, then 2 squares, then 9 squares, then 5 squares,..., so that the original rectangle of shape sqrt(7)+sqrt(8) is partitioned into an infinite collection of squares.
