The rectangle R whose shape (i.e., length/width) is (1+x+sqrt(8+2x))/4, where x=sqrt(15), can be partitioned into golden rectangles and squares in a manner that matches the periodic continued fraction [r,1,1,r,1,1,...]. It can also be partitioned into squares so as to match the nonperiodic continued fraction [2,4,1,3,10,...] at A190183. For details, see A188635.
