%N Decimal expansion of the second largest dihedral angle, in radians, in a gyroelongated square pyramid (Johnson solid J_10).

%C This is the dihedral angle between adjacent triangular faces in the square antiprism part of the solid.

%C Also the analogous dihedral angle in a gyroelongated square bipyramid (Johnson solid J_17).
