%N Decimal expansion of the x-intercept of the shortest segment from the x axis through (3,1) to the line y=2x.

%C The shortest segment from one side of an angle T through a point P inside T is called the Philo line of P in T. For discussions and guides to related sequences, see A197032, A197008 and A195284.

%e length of Philo line: 3.7423891424451...; see A197145
