%N Decimal expansion of 2*sin(Pi/17), the ratio side/R in the regular 17-gon inscribed in a circle of radius R.
%C s(17) := 2*sin(Pi/17) is an algebraic integer of degree 16 (over the rationals). Its minimal polynomial is 17 - 204*x^2 + 714*x^4 - 1122*x^6 + 935*x^8 - 442*x^10 + 119*x^12 - 17*x^14 + x^16. Its coefficients in the power basis of the algebraic number field Q(2*cos(Pi/34)) are [0, -15, 0, 140, 0, -378, 0, 450, 0, -275, 0, 90, 0, -15, 0, 1] (see row l = 8 of A228785). The decimal expansion of 2*cos(Pi/34) is given in A228788.
%C The continued fraction expansion starts with 0; 2, 1, 2, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 1, 5, 1, 3, 2, 2, 2, 1, 1, 43, 3, 1, 5, 2, 17, 2, ...
%C Gauss' formula for cos(2*Pi/17), given in A210644, can be inserted into s(17) = sqrt(2*(1 - cos(2*Pi/17))).
%C Since 17 is a Fermat prime, this number is constructible and can be written as an expression containing just integers, the basic four arithmetic operations, and square roots. See A003401 for more details. - _Stanislav Sykora_, May 02 2016
