Comments

The rectangle R whose shape (i.e., length/width) is (1+sqrt(1+2x))/2, where x=sqrt(2), can be partitioned into rectangles of shapes 1 and sqrt(2) in a manner that matches the periodic continued fraction [1, x, 1, x, ...]. R can also be partitioned into squares so as to match the nonperiodic continued fraction [1, 2,11,32,1,4,10,2,1,...] at A190261. For details, see A188635.
