Penrose has also designed another tessellation based as well on the argentic rectangle. It is
composed of two rhombic tesserae with like sides and angles as follows:
Rhomb A: 108º; 72º
Rhomb B: 144º; 36ºFig. 8 shows the genesis of rhomb A from Fig. 2; in Fig. 9 we obtain the rhomb B from the kite
of Fig. 3. Note that the sides of both rhombs are congruent.
Fig. 10 is a tessellation made out of rhombs A and B.6
