Symmetry:  7-fold Prismatic  (D7h)
Heptagram-Triangle Angle:  acos(−sqrt(root[27*(x^3)−189*(x^2)+105*x−7]))    
    = acos(−tan(π/7)/sqrt(3))    
≈106.143095674951 degrees
Triangle-Triangle Angle:  acos(−root[27*(x^3)+45*(x^2)−3*x−13])    
    = acos(−(4*cos(2*π/7)−1)/3)    
≈119.866870637 degrees
Dual Solid:  Heptagrammic 7/2 Trapezohedron
(values below based on edge length = 1)
Circumscribed Radius:  sqrt(root[448*(x^3)−560*(x^2)+224*x−29])    
    = sqrt(cot(π/7)*cot(π/7)+5)/4
