Summary

Description	English: A golden rectangle with longer side a and shorter side b, when placed adjacent to a square with sides of length a, will produce a similar golden rectangle with longer side a + b and shorter side a. This illustrates the relationship $\frac{a+b}{a} = \frac{a}{b} = 1.618 = \varphi\ ,.$
