COMMENT

Also, decimal expansion of 2*sqrt(2)*cos(Pi/8).

1 + csc(Pi/8) is the radius of the smallest circle into which 9 unit circles can be packed ("r=3.613+ Proved by Pirl in 1969.", according to the Friedman link, which has a diagram). csc(Pi/8) is the distance between the center of the larger circle and the center of each unit circle that touches the larger circle.
