%N Decimal expansion of the inscribed sphere radius in a regular dodecahedron with unit edge.
%C Equals phi^2/(2*xi), where phi is the golden ratio (A001622, 2*cos(Pi/5)) and xi is its associate (A182007, 2*sin(Pi/5)).

%F Equals A001622^2/A182007 = (cos(Pi/5))^2/sin(Pi/5) = A019863^2/A019845 = cos(Pi/5)*cotan(Pi/5) = A019863*A019952 = 1/sin(Pi/5) - sin(Pi/5) = A019845^(-1) - A019845 = sqrt(250+110*sqrt(5))/20.
