%F Equals (7/4) * cot(Pi/7).
%F From _Michal Paulovic_, Dec 27 2022: (Start)
%F Equals 7 / (4 * tan(Pi/7)) = 7 / (4 * A343058).
%F Equals sqrt(7/3 * (35 + 2 * 196^(1/3) * ((13 - 3 * sqrt(3) * i)^(1/3) + (13 + 3 * sqrt(3) * i)^(1/3)))) / 4.
%F Equals sqrt(7/4) * sqrt(35/12 + (637/54 - sqrt(-2401/108))^(1/3) + (637/54 + sqrt(-2401/108))^(1/3)).
%F (End)
%F A root of the polynomial 4096*x^6 - 62720*x^4 + 115248*x^2 - 16807. - _Joerg Arndt_, Jan 02 2023
