Volume between a cylinder and the inscribed sphere of radius 1. - Omar E. Pol, Sep 25 2013
(2/3)*Pi is also the surface area of a sphere whose diameter equals the square root of 2/3. More generally, x*Pi is also the surface area of a sphere whose diameter equals the square root of x. - Omar E. Pol, Jun 18 2018
Volume of a hemisphere of radius 1. - Omar E. Pol, Aug 17 2019
Angle in radians between two vectors of equal magnitude and originating from the same point whose vector sum also has the same magnitude. - Stefano Spezia, Jun 30 2025
