The rhombs {(r,R)2} have vertex angles r = arccos[sqrt(5)/3] = 41.810315° resp. R = arccos[-sqrt(5)/3] = 138.189685°.

Edge size used here is rR = x = 1. This results in rhomb diagonal sizes a = rr = uf/h = [1+sqrt(5)]/sqrt(3) = 1.868345 and b = RR = uv/h = [sqrt(5)-1]/sqrt(3) = 0.713644. The diagonal's ratio of the rhombs here clearly is rr : RR = F = [3+sqrt(5)]/2 = 3.618034.
