Where 173,205 fits
Why 173,205 is special
1.73205 is the ratio of a regular hexagon's width across the corners to its width across the flats, which is why it appears throughout engineering drawing and crystallography. It is also the peak-to-peak ratio between line and phase voltage in a three-phase supply, so it is on the nameplate of a great deal of electrical equipment.
