@Aryan Sanghi look at my solution
@Aryan Sanghi ,Thanks
Use vector algebra. Let a and b be the unknown lengths. Then
5 + 3 cos 6 0 ° + 6 cos 1 2 0 ° + 7 cos 1 8 0 ° + a cos 2 4 0 ° + b cos 3 0 0 ° = 0
⟹ a − b = − 7
3 sin 6 0 ° + 6 sin 1 2 0 ° + 7 sin 1 8 0 ° + a sin 2 4 0 ° + b sin 3 0 0 ° = 0
⟹ a + b = 9
So, a = 2 1 ( − 7 + 9 ) = 1 ,
b = 2 1 ( 9 + 7 ) = 8 .

Here's my solution
. Hexagon named ABMCDE side lengths of BM =5, MC =3, CD =6, DE =7, EA =X,AB=Y. We need to find X and Y sum of all interior angles of hexagon is 720 degrees.
Then each interior angles would be 120 degrees. we know that the exterior angle +interior angle is 180 degrees . If we extend the lines you could see that how the figure looks like . The triangles are EQUILATERAL THOSE WHICH ARE DRAWN IN CORNER. If we look at the biggest triangle PQR is also an equilateral triangle. NOTE: PB=Y So,here the algebra comes that each side of a is 16. 16=X+Y+7 16=Y+5+3 hence,x=1 y=8
