If the sides of a triangle form an arithmetic progression in the ratio 1:1+d:1+2d then when d=1/sqrt(3) it uniquely maximizes the area of the triangle. This triangle has approximate internal angles 25.588 degs, 42.941 degs, 111.471 degs. - Frank M Jackson, Jun 15 2011
When a cylinder is completely enclosed by a sphere, it occupies a fraction f of the sphere volume. The value of f has a trivial lower bound of 0, and an upper bound which is this constant. It is achieved iff the cylinder diameter is sqrt(2) times its height, and the sphere is circumscribed to it. A similar constant can be associated with any n-dimensional geometric shape. For 3D cuboids it is A165952. - Stanislav Sykora, Mar 07 2016
The ratio between the thickness and diameter of a dynamically fair coin having an equal probability, 1/3, of landing on each of its two faces and on its side after being tossed in the air. The calculation is based on the dynamic of rigid body (Yong and Mahadevan, 2011). See A020765 for a simplified geometrical solution. - Amiram Eldar, Sep 01 2020
The coefficient of variation (relative standard deviation) of natural numbers: Limit_{n->oo} sqrt((n-1)/(3*n+3)) = 1/sqrt(3). - Michal Paulovic, Mar 21 2023

Equals 1 + Sum_{k>=0} -(4*k+1)^(-1/2) + (4*k+3)^(-1/2) + (4*k+5)^(-1/2) - (4*k+7)^(-1/2). - Gerry Martens, Nov 22 2022
Equals (1/2)*(2 - zeta(1/2,1/4) + zeta(1/2,3/4) + zeta(1/2,5/4) - zeta(1/2,7/4)). - Gerry Martens, Nov 22 2022
