%N Decimal expansion of square root of 48.
%C sqrt(48)/10 is the area enclosed by Koch's fractal snowflake based on unit-sided equilateral triangle (actually 8/5 times the latter's area). - _Lekraj Beedassy_, Jan 06 2005
%C 7+sqrt(48) is the ratio of outer to inner Soddy circles' radii for three identical kissing circles (see Soddy circles link). - _Lekraj Beedassy_, Feb 14 2006
%C Continued fraction expansion is 6 followed by {1, 12} repeated. - _Harry J. Smith_, Jun 06 2009
%C Let a, b, c the sides of a triangle ABC of area S, then 4*sqrt(3) <= (a^2+b^2+c^2) / S; equality is obtained only when the triangle is equilateral (see Mitrinovic reference). - _Bernard Schott_, Sep 27 2022
