Comments

See A188640 for definitions of shape and r-extension rectangle. Briefly, an r-extension rectangle is composed of two rectangles of shape r.

A (Pi/2)-extension rectangle matches the continued fraction [2,17,1,1,3,1,3,2,2,1637,1,210,7,...] of the shape L/W = (1/4)*(Pi + sqrt(16 + Pi^2)). This is analogous to the matching of a golden rectangle to the continued fraction [1,1,1,1,1,1,1,...]. Specifically, for the (Pi/2)-extension rectangle, 2 squares are removed first, then 17 squares, then 1 square, then 1 square, then 3 squares, ..., so that the original rectangle is partitioned into an infinite collection of squares.
