%N Decimal expansion of non-right-angle, in degrees, of unique 14th class of convex pentagonal tiling.

%C From _Jean-François Alcover_, Mar 11 2013: (Start)

%C These are the 5 angles, in radians and in degrees:

%C A = Pi/2 = 90 deg,

%C B = Pi/2 + arccos((sqrt(57)-3)/8) = 145.338336261... deg,

%C C = Pi - 2*arccos((sqrt(57)-3)/8) = 69.323327476... deg,

%C D = Pi - arccos((sqrt(57)-3)/8) = 124.661663738... deg,

%C E = 2*arccos((sqrt(57)-3)/8) = 110.676672523... deg.

%C Ratios of sides are AB:BC:CD:DE:EA = d:1:2:2:1 with d = sqrt(22*sqrt(57)-50)/4 = 2.693700493... (End)
