%N A367480 Decimal expansion of the radius of a common circle surrounded by seven tangent unit circles.
%C A367480 The radius of a common circle surrounded by n tangent unit circles (n > 2) is r = 1/sin(Pi/n) - 1.
%C A367480 n=7 is the smallest number for which the radius cannot be expressed using square roots, since the regular heptagon formed by the centers of the tangent circles is non-constructible (see A246724, A188582, and A121570 for n=3, 4, 5).
