$$\mathrm{7}{x}={R}\alpha \\ $$$$\mathrm{8}{x}={R}\beta \\ $$$$\frac{\alpha}{\beta}=\frac{\mathrm{7}}{\mathrm{8}} \\ $$$$\alpha+\beta=\pi \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\alpha=\frac{\mathrm{7}\pi}{\mathrm{7}+\mathrm{8}}=\frac{\mathrm{7}\pi}{\mathrm{15}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{2}\left(\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{2}}−{x}\right)=\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{2}}−\alpha \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{x}=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}\left(\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{2}}+\alpha\right)=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}\left(\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{2}}+\frac{\mathrm{7}\pi}{\mathrm{15}}\right)=\frac{\mathrm{29}\pi}{\mathrm{60}}\:\checkmark \\ $$$$\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\left(=\mathrm{87}°\right) \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{R}=\frac{\mathrm{7}{x}}{\alpha}=\frac{\mathrm{15}{x}}{\pi}=\frac{\mathrm{15}}{\pi}×\frac{\mathrm{29}\pi}{\mathrm{60}}=\frac{\mathrm{29}}{\mathrm{4}} \\ $$
