A rectangle with side proportions 1: is called a "root-five rectangle" and is part of the series of root rectangles, a subset of dynamic rectangles, which are based on and successively constructed using the diagonal of the previous root rectangle, starting from a square. A root-5 rectangle is particularly notable in that it can be split into a square and two equal golden rectangles (of dimensions ), or into two golden rectangles of different sizes (of dimensions and ). It can also be decomposed as the union of two equal golden rectangles (of dimensions ) whose intersection forms a square. All this is can be seen as the geometric interpretation of the algebraic relationships between , and mentioned above. The root-5 rectangle can be constructed from a 1:2 rectangle (the root-4 rectangle), or directly from a square in a manner similar to the one for the golden rectangle shown in the illustration, but extending the arc of length to both sides.
