For Circles:
m ∠ A O P = 5 π and by Inscribed Angle Theorem m ∠ E P F = 2 1 m ∠ E O F ⟹ m ∠ A P O = 1 0 π
O C A C = tan ( 5 π ) ⟹ O C = tan ( 5 π ) A C and P C = tan ( 1 0 π ) A C = r 1 − O C = r − tan ( 5 π ) A C ⟹
h = A C = tan ( 5 π ) + tan ( 1 0 π ) tan ( 1 0 π ) tan ( 5 π ) r 1
tan ( 5 π ) = tan ( 1 0 2 π ) = 1 − tan 2 ( 1 0 π ) 2 tan ( 1 0 π ) ⟹ h = 3 − tan 2 ( 1 0 π ) 2 tan ( 1 0 π ) r 1
Let β = 3 − tan 2 ( 1 0 π ) tan ( 1 0 π ) ⟹ h 1 = 2 β r 1 = r 2 sin ( 5 π ) ⟹ r 2 = sin ( 5 π ) 2 β r 1
In General r n = ( sin ( 5 π ) 2 β ) n − 1 r 1 and R = n = 1 ∑ ∞ r n = sin ( 5 π ) − 2 β sin ( 5 π ) r 1 .
Let u = tan ( 2 x ) ⟹ u 2 = 1 + cos ( x ) 1 − cos ( x ) = ( 1 + cos ( x ) ) 2 sin 2 ( x ) ⟹ u = 1 + cos ( x ) sin ( x ) and u 2 = 1 + cos ( x ) 1 − cos ( x ) ⟹ cos ( x ) = 1 + u 2 1 − u 2 ⟹ sin ( x ) = 1 + u 2 2 u and u = tan ( 2 x )
Let x = 5 π ⟹ u = tan ( 1 0 π ) ⟹ β = 3 − u 2 u and sin ( 5 π ) = 1 + u 2 2 u
⟹ R = 2 ( 1 − u 2 ) 3 − u 2 r 1 and u = tan ( 1 0 π ) = 5 1 2 5 − 1 0 5 ⟹ R = ( 2 1 ) ( 5 5 + 5 ) r 1 = ( 2 1 + 5 ) r 1 ⟹ r 1 R = 2 1 + 5 .
For Hexagons:
Let x 1 be the length of a side of the initial Hexagon.
2 x 1 = r 1 sin ( 5 π ) ⟹ r 1 = 2 x 1 sin ( 5 π )
From above we have h 1 = 2 β r 1 = sin ( 5 π ) β x 1 and x 2 = 2 h 1 = sin ( 5 π ) 2 β x 1 ⟹ x 3 = 2 h 2 = sin ( 5 π ) 2 β x 2 = ( sin ( 5 π ) 2 β ) 2 x 1
In General x n = ( sin ( 5 π ) 2 β ) n − 1 x 1 and from above ⟹ x 1 X = r 1 R = 2 1 + 5
For ratio P A P B :
Let P A = z and A B = y
From above β = 3 − tan 2 ( 1 0 π ) tan ( 1 0 π ) , h 1 = 2 β r 1 and r 2 = sin ( 5 π ) 2 β r 1
Using law of cosines on △ A O B ⟹ y = 2 sin ( 5 π ) r 2 = 4 β r 1 and h = 2 β r 1 = z sin ( 1 0 π ) ⟹ z = sin ( 1 0 π ) 2 β r 1
⟹ P B = y + z = 2 β r 1 ( sin ( 1 0 π ) 2 sin ( 1 0 π ) + 1 ) ⟹ P A P B = 2 sin ( 1 0 π ) + 1 and sin ( 1 0 π ) = 4 1 ( 5 − 1 ) ⟹ P A P B = 2 1 + 5 = r 1 R = x 1 X = c a + b ⟹ a + b + c = 8 .
