%N Decimal expansion of arctan(2*Pi): adjacent angle for a right triangle of equal area to a disk.

%C In radians, this constant is the arctan(base / height) = arctan(Adjacent / Opposite) = arctan(circumference / radius) for a unit circle is arctan(A019692), where A019692 = 2*A000796.

%C "Archimedes used the tools of Euclidean geometry to show that the area inside a circle is equal to that of a right triangle whose base has the length of the circle's circumference and whose height equals the circle's radius in his book Measurement of a Circle." quote from Wikipedia link.
