COMMENTS
Let r=(golden ratio)=(1+sqrt(5))/2 and u=(silver ratio)=1+sqrt(2). A triangle ABC with sidelengths a,b,c is side-golden if a/b=r and angle-silver if C/B=u. There is a unique triangle that has both properties. The quickest way to understand the geometric reasons for the names is by analogy to the golden and silver rectangles. For the former, exactly 1 square is available at each stage of the partitioning of the rectangle into a nest of squares, and for the former, exactly 2 squares are available. Analogously, for ABC, exactly one 1 triangle of a certain kind is available at each stage of a side-partitioning procedure, and exactly 2 triangles of another kind are available for angle-partitioning. For details, see the 2007 reference.
