COMMENTS

Multiplied by 100, this is sqrt(125). - Alonso del Arte, Jan 06 2013

Multiplied by 10, this is sqrt(5)/2. As such, it appears in the pythagorean tree as the ratio of the distance between 2 consecutive square centers divided by the length of the initial square (see CNRS link) - Michel Marcus, Feb 20 2013

The two-dimensional Steinitz constant K_2(0,0), related to sum of vectors, is sqrt(5)/2. - Jean-François Alcover, Jun 04 2014
