Prove that for any positive integer there is an equiangular hexagon whose side-lengths are in some order.
Saudi Arabian Mathematical Competitions
Solution
Assume that the equiangular hexagon has the side-lengths . Since all angles of the hexagon are , extending its sides we get an equilateral triangle.
It is clear that
that is
which are the necessary and sufficient conditions for a hexagon with side-lengths to be equiangular.
If , , , , , , then (1) is verified and we are done.
