 In the right triangle ABC, side AC is divided into 8 equal parts, and from each division point, a segment parallel to BC is drawn, resulting in a total of 7 segments. Given that BC = 10, find the sum of the lengths of these 7 segments. Express your answer as a whole number. Show your work in <think> </think> tags. And return the final answer in <answer> </answer> tags.<|im_end|>
