There are triangles and a regular pentagon inside the regular pentagon .
Let
denote the area of regular pentagon shaded in blue, and
denote the total area of five triangles shaded in brown.
Find .
Edit : just found that there is a similar problem here .

Divide the blue pentagon into 5 equal parts, as shown. Note that 7 2 ∘ = 5 2 π and 5 4 ∘ = 1 0 3 π . This means that tan 5 4 ∘ tan 7 2 ∘ = tan 5 2 π × tan ( 2 π − 1 0 3 π ) = tan 5 2 π tan 5 π = 5 .
If the blue pentagon is of length a , then the area of the each of the 5 parts (of blue pentagon) is a × a tan 5 4 ∘ , while the area of each of the 5 brown triangles is a × a tan 7 2 ∘ Then ⌊ M 1 0 0 0 N ⌋ = ⌊ tan 5 4 ∘ 1 0 0 0 tan 7 2 ∘ ⌋ = ⌊ 1 0 0 0 5 ⌋ = 2 2 3 6 .
