%N Decimal expansion of the positive member -y of a triple (x, y, z) solving a certain historical system of three equations.

%C The system of three equations is

%C x + y + z = 10,

%C x*z = y^2,

%C x^2 + y^2 = z^2.

%C See A300070 for the Havil reference and links to Abū Kāmil who considered this system. This real solution was not given in Havils's book.

%C This solution is x = x2:= 10*A248750, -y=-y2= present entry, z = z2 = A300073.

%C The other real solution with positive y is x = 10*A248752, y = A300070, z = A300071.

%C Note that X2 = x2/5, -Y2 = -y2/5 and Z2 = z2/5 solve the system of equations i') X2 + Y2 + Z2 = 2, ii) X2*Z2 = (Y2)^2 and iii) (X2)^2 + (Y2)^2 = (Z2)^2.

%F -y2 = 5*(1- phi - sqrt(phi)), with the golden section phi = (1 + sqrt(5))/2 = A001622.

%e -y2 = 9.450268191319819062285046480515648047179586108229295553760445026222...

%e -y2/5 = 1.8900536382639638124570092961031296094359172216458591107520890052...
