Let be a regular heptagon. Suppose , , , are points on the line segments , , , , respectively, for which are satisfied. Let be the point of intersection of the line segments and . Find the value of .
Here by we mean the length of the line segment .

Let , , be points on the sides , , , respectively, dividing respective side in ratio. Then, it is easy to see that becomes also a regular heptagon. Hence these points lie on the circumference of a same circle, and divides the circumference into arcs of equal length. From this it follows that is of the angle subtended by the arc of the circum-circle of this heptagon at its center, and thus . Similarly, we have . Consequently, we get .
