COMMENTS
This ratio is invariant of the size of the side-silver right triangle ABC. The shape of ABC is given by sidelengths a,b,c, where a=r*b, and c=sqrt(a^2+b^2), where r=(silver ratio)=(1+sqrt(2)). This is the unique right triangle matching the continued fraction [2,2,2,...] of r; i.e., under the side-partitioning procedure described in the 2007 reference, there are exactly 2 removable subtriangles at each stage. (This is analogous to the removal of 2 squares at each stage of the partitioning of the silver rectangle as a nest of squares.)

FORMULA
(circumradius)/(inradius) = abc(a+b+c)/(8*area^2), where area=area(ABC).
