A collection of regular polygons with sides of equal length is said to "fit" if, when arranged around a common vertex, they exactly complete the surrounding area of the point on the plane. For example, a square fits with two octagons. Determine all possible collections of regular polygons that fit.

Two segments $A_1B_1$ and $A_2B_2$ are given on the plane, with $\frac{A_2B_2}{A_1B_1} = k < 1$. On segment $A_1A_2$, point $A_3$ is taken, and on the extension of this segment beyond point $A_2$, point $A_4$ is taken, so $\frac{A_3A_2}{A_3A_1} =\frac{A_4A_2}{A_4A_1}= k$. Similarly, point $B_3$ is taken on segment $B_1B_2$ , and on the extension of this the segment beyond point $B_2$ is point $B_4$, so $\frac{B_3B_2}{B_3B_1} =\frac{B_4B_2}{B_4B_1}= k$. Find the angle between lines $A_3B_3$ and $A_4B_4$. (Netherlands)
