Solid is a prism with a regular enneadecagonal base of sidelength and a height of , while solid is a torus of major radius and minor radius . Place solids and in space such that the following conditions hold:
Given that the volume of the part of solid not in solid is equal to the volume of the part of solid not in solid , find .

The orientation of the torus is irrelevant. We are told that the volumes of A ∩ B ′ and A ′ ∩ B are equal. Adding the volume of A ∩ B to each of these, this means that the volumes of A and B are equal. Since the volume of the enneadecagonal prism A is 4 × 1 9 × 2 1 × s × 2 tan 1 9 π s = 1 9 s 2 cot 1 9 π and the volume of the torus B is 2 π 2 × 2 × ( π 4 ) 2 = 6 4 we deduce that s = 1 9 6 4 tan 1 9 π = 0 . 7 4 9 7 2 6 6 5 6 1
