For denominators see A146307.
General formula:
2*cos(2*Pi/n) = Hypergeometric2F1((n-6)/(2n), (n+6)/(2n), 1/2, 3/4) =
Hypergeometric2F1(a(n)/A146307(n), a(n+12)/A146307(n), 1/2, 3/4).
2*cos(2*Pi/n) is root of polynomial of degree = EulerPhi(n)/2 = A000010(n)/2 = A023022(n).
Records in this sequence are congruent to 1 or 5 mod 6 (see A007310).
First occurrence n in this sequence see A146308.
