Final answer:

When you start with a golden rectangle and cut the largest possible square from one end, the remaining piece is another golden rectangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

When you start with a golden rectangle and cut the largest possible square from one end, the remaining piece is another golden rectangle. A golden rectangle is a rectangle whose side lengths are in the golden ratio, approximately 1.618. This means that when you cut a square from one end, the remaining piece of the rectangle will also have side lengths in the same golden ratio.
