%N Decimal expansion of the angle B in the doubly golden triangle ABC.

%C There is a unique (shape of) triangle ABC that is both side-golden and angle-golden. Its angles are B, C=t*B and A=pi-B-t*B, where t is the golden ratio. "Angle-golden" and "side-golden" refer to partitionings of ABC, each in a manner that matches the continued fraction [1,1,1,...] of t. (The partitionings are analogous to the partitioning of the golden rectangle into squares by the removal of exactly 1 square at each stage.)

%C For doubly silver and doubly e-ratio triangles, see A188543 and A188544.

%C For the side partitioning and angle partitioning (i,e, constructions) which match arbitrary continued fractions (of sidelength ratios and angle ratios), see the 2007 reference.

%F B is the number in [0,Pi] such that sin(B*t^2)=t*sin(B), where t=(1+5^(1/2))/2, the golden ratio.

%e The number B begins with 0.65740548 (equivalent to 37.666559... degrees).
