Comments

The rectangle R whose shape (i.e., length/width) is 1+sqrt(1+sqrt(2)) can be partitioned into rectangles of shapes 2 and sqrt(2) in a manner that matches the periodic continued fraction [2, r, 2, r, ...]. R can also be partitioned into squares so as to match the nonperiodic continued fraction [2,1,1,4,6,1,2,2,2,1,1,6,...] at A190284. For details, see A188635.
