2019 AIME II Problem 13

Regular octagon A_1A_2A_3A_4A_5A_6A_7A_8 is inscribed in a circle of area 1. Point P lies inside the circle so that the region bounded by \overline{PA_1},\overline{PA_2}, and the minor arc \widehat{A_1A_2} of the circle has area \tfrac{1}{7}, while the region bounded by \overline{PA_3},\overline{PA_4}, and the minor arc \widehat{A_3A_4} of the circle has area \tfrac{1}{9}. There is a positive integer n such that the area of the region bounded by \overline{PA_6},\overline{PA_7}, and the minor arc \widehat{A_6A_7} of the circle is equal to \tfrac{1}{8}-\tfrac{\sqrt2}{n}. Find n.

Leading zeroes must be inputted, so if your answer is 34, then input 034
