$\begin{array}{l} In first case r = \cot \frac{π}{5}; R = cosec \frac{π}{5} \\ In second case r_{1} = \cot \frac{π}{7}; R_{1} = cosec \frac{π}{7} \\ 1_{1} = π (R^{2} - r^{2}) = π ({cosec}^{3} \frac{π}{5} - \cot^{2} \frac{π}{5}) = π \end{array}$

$\begin{array}{l} M A_{2} = π (R_{1}^{2} - r_{1}^{2}) \\ = π ({cosec}^{2} \frac{π}{7} - \cot^{2} \frac{π}{7}) = π \\ \Rightarrow A_{1} = A_{2} \end{array}$
