Problem

A regular octagon A1A2A3A4A5A6A7A8A_1A_2A_3A_4A_5A_6A_7A_8 is inscribed in a circle of area 11. A point PP inside the circle is such that the region bounded by PA1PA_1, PA2PA_2, and the minor arc A1A2A_1A_2 has area 17\dfrac 17, and the region bounded by PA3PA_3, PA4PA_4, and the minor arc A3A4A_3A_4 has area 19\dfrac 19. The region bounded by PA6PA_6, PA7PA_7, and the minor arc A6A7A_6A_7 has area 18−2n\dfrac 18-\dfrac{\sqrt 2}n for a positive integer nn. Find nn.
