A Dissection of a Prolate Golden Rhombohedron

"A rhombohedron is a parallelepiped bounded by six congruent rhombs. It has two opposite vertices at which the three face-angles are equal; it is said to be acute or obtuse according to the nature of these angles. A golden rhombohedron has faces whose diagonals are in the golden ratio :1." [1]. The volumes of A6 (the acute rhombohedron) and O6 (the obtuse rhombohedron) are also in the ratio :1.

The Fibonacci sequence 1, , 1+, 1+2, 2+3, 3+5, 5+8, 8+13, … is equal to the geometric sequence 1, , , , , , , , … [2]. Taking the obtuse rhombohedron of volume 1, the obtuse rhombohedron whose edges are as long has volume . So there exists a dissection of O6 to one O6 and two A6.

On the other hand, the volume of A6 is , so there exists a dissection of the solid to two O6 and three A6. But so there is a dissection of A6 to O6, O6, and A6.

Finally, it is possible to dissect O6 to 1/ O6 and two 1/ A6. This Demonstration illustrates a dissection of A6 to O6, A6, 1/ O6, and two 1/ A6. There is a three-piece dissection of a parallelepiped to A6. There is a four-piece dissection of the bottom parallelepiped to O6. The blue and the red parallelepipeds are 1/ A6. The parallelepiped with the magenta part is similar to the bottom parallelepiped, so there exists a four-piece dissection of the parallelepiped to 1/O6.
