I already posted this in the stellated cubocta section, but nobody seemed willing to help me. What is the simple form for the ratio of the stellated cubocta, instead of the actual number? The ratio is 1:2.138, But I'm looking for a simpler form, say, 1:(sqrt)2.

I can't be absolutely certain but I think it's (5 + √2)/3, which is 2.1380711874576983

Also, I don't know if it was due to people not being willing to help; maybe nobody knew.

EDIT: After some more calculations, this should be exactly right.
