It is well known that the length sin 70° (cos 20°) is not constructible with ruler and compass, since it is a root of the irreducible polynomial 8x^3 - 6x - 1 and 3 fails to divide any power of 2. - Jean-François Alcover, Aug 10 2014 [cf. the Maxfield ref.]
A cubic number with denominator 2. - Charles R Greathouse IV, Aug 27 2017
From Peter Bala, Oct 21 2021: (Start)
The minimal polynomial of cos(Pi/9) is 8*x^3 - 6*x - 1 with discriminant (2^6)*(3^4), a square: hence the Galois group of the algebraic number field Q(sin(70°) over Q is the cyclic group of order 3.
The two other zeros of the minimal polynomial are cos(5*Pi/9) = - A019819 and cos(7*Pi/9) = - A019859. The mapping z -> 1 - 2*z^2 cyclically permutes the three zeros.  The inverse permutation is given by the mapping z -> 2*z^2 - z - 1. (End)

Also: a bond percolation threshold probability on the triangular lattice.

Also: the edge length of a regular 18-gon with unit circumradius. Such an m-gon is not constructible using a compass and a straightedge (see A004169). With an even m, in fact, it would be constructible only if the (m/2)-gon were constructible, which is not true in this case (see A272488). - Stanislav Sykora, May 01 2016
