%N Decimal expansion of sin(2*Pi/5) (sine of 72 degrees).

%C Circumradius of pentagonal pyramid (Johnson solid 2) with edge 1. - _Vladimir Joseph Stephan Orlovsky_, Jul 19 2010

%C Circumscribed sphere radius for a regular icosahedron with unit edges. - _Stanislav Sykora_, Feb 10 2014

%C Side length of the particular golden rhombus with diagonals 1 and phi (A001622); area is phi/2 (A019863). Thus, also the ratio side/(shorter diagonal) for any golden rhombus. Interior angles of a golden rhombus are always A105199 and A137218. - _Rick L. Shepherd_, Apr 10 2017

%C An algebraic number of degree 4; minimal polynomial is 16x^4 - 20x^2 + 5, which has these smaller, other solutions (conjugates): -A019881 < -A019845 < A019845 (sine of 36 degrees). - _Rick L. Shepherd_, Apr 11 2017

%C This is length ratio of one half of any diagonal in the regular pentagon and the circumscribing radius. - _Wolfdieter Lang_, Jan 07 2018

%C Quartic number of denominator 2 and minimal polynomial 16x^4 - 20x^2 + 5. - _Charles R Greathouse IV_, May 13 2019

%C This gives the imaginary part of one of the members of a conjugate pair of roots of x^5 - 1, with real part (-1 + phi)/2 = A019827, where phi = A001622. A member of the other conjugte pair of roots is (-phi + sqrt(3 - phi)*i)/2 = (-A001622 + A182007*i)/2 = -A001622/2 + A019845*i. - _Wolfdieter Lang_, Aug 30 2022
