# Terminology for a rectangle whose width/height ratio is between $r$ and $1/r$?

What do you call a rectangle whose width/height ratio is between $r$ and $1/r$?

I use the terminology "$r$-balanced rectangle". So, a $1$-balanced rectangle is a square, a $2$-balanced rectangle is a rectangle whose width/height ratio is between $1/2$ and $2$, etc., and an $\infty$-balanced rectangle is just any general rectangle.

Is there a more standard terminology?

Why is that useful? It only makes sense to introduce terminology if you use something frequently and better even, if it's a fundamental concept. If it turns out to be fundamental in your work, go ahead and give it a name. But I've never encountered this elsewhere and I can't fathom what purpose it could serve. –  Raskolnikov Jun 21 '13 at 7:43
I think it would be naïve to close this question just because no-one who has read this question has ever come across such a thing before. That is to say, noone who has read it known the answer...which is a flawed reason for closing! For all we know, these things do have a name and we just do not know it - and so we have a valid question... –  user1729 Jun 21 '13 at 8:37
@Raskolnikov: You could go through the list of questions the OP asked to see example applications, e.g. in rectangularizing the square. –  MvG Jun 21 '13 at 9:18
@Raskolnikov: It is a terminology question - no effort is needed by an answerer, and no the OP should not be required to give motivation! –  user1729 Jun 21 '13 at 9:24
@MvG thank you! Just to give some motivation: my research is related to division of land resources between people. One of the reasonable constraints in dividing land resources is that each land plot should be a balanced rectangle, because an un-balanced rectangle (i.e. a very skinny or a very flat one) is not useful. –  Erel Segal-Halevi Jun 21 '13 at 13:19
