Geometry Difficulty 5.2 AIME, harder Prove it

54. (SPA 4) Let PP be a convex planar polygon with equal angles. Let l1,lnl_{1} \ldots, l_{n} be its sides. Show that a necessary and sufficient condition for PP to be regular is that the sum of the ratios L1li+1(i=1,,n;ln+1=l1)\frac{L_{1}}{l_{i+1}}\left(i=1, \ldots, n ; l_{n+1}=l_{1}\right) equals the number of sides.
