Imran joins two tiles together as shown below.
One tile is a regular hexagon and the other tile is a regular pentagon.

Show that angle  is 132°.

Imran thinks that another tile in the shape of a regular polygon will fit exactly into angle .

Is Imran correct?

AB, CD and EF are straight lines.

Ava assumes that AB and CD are parallel.
What answer should she get for the size of angle ?

...............................degrees

In fact,

AB and CD are not parallel
angle is 60°

What effect does this have on the size of angle ? Tick a box.
