|Description={{en|1=A '''[[w:Golden Rectangle|golden rectangle]]''' with longer side '''''a''''' and shorter side '''''b''''', when placed adjacent to a square with sides of length '''''a''''', will produce a [[w:Similarity_(geometry)|'''similar''']] '''golden rectangle''' with longer side '''''a + b''''' and shorter side '''''a'''''. This illustrates the relationship $\frac{a+b}{a} = \frac{b}{a} \equiv \varphi\,.$ }}
