    A regular hexagon and a regular pentagon are placed so that one side of the hexagon coincides exactly with one side of the pentagon. Both shapes have side length 1010 cm. (The area of a regular hexagon with side aa is 332a2\frac{3\sqrt3}{2}a^2.)
    (a)
    (a) Calculate the interior angle of a regular hexagon and the interior angle of a regular pentagon. Hence find the size of the combined angle formed at a point where one vertex of each shape meets (the two interior angles added together).

    (b)
    (b) Calculate the perimeter of the pentagon, and calculate the area of the regular hexagon, correct to 1 decimal place.
    [4 marks]
    (c)
    (c) The hexagon is enlarged by scale factor 0.40.4, centre a fixed point, to form a smaller hexagon. Calculate the area of the smaller hexagon, correct to 1 decimal place.
