Let the side of the regular pentagon be 1 unit.


a = 108-90

a = 18°


b = 180-108-18

b = 54°


(1/sin54) = (c/sin108)

c = 1.17557050458 units.


(1/sin54) = (d/sin18)

d = 0.38196601125 unit.


e = 1-d

e = 0.61803398875 unit.


f² = 0.61803398875²+1²-2*0.61803398875cos108

f = 1.3281310261 units.


(1.3281310261/sin108) = (1/sing)

g = 45.73230144788°


h = 180-108-45.73230144788

h = 26.26769855212° 


I = 180-72-45.73230144788

i = 62.26769855212°


(0.61803398875/sin62.26769855212) = (j/sin72)

j = 0.66406551305 unit.


k = 180-36-26.26769855212

k = 117.73230144788°


l² = 2-2cos108

l = 1.61803398875 units.


(0.66406551305/sin72) = (m/sin45.73230144788)

m = 0.5 unit.


n = 1.61803398875-m

n = 1.11803398875 units.


Area Green is;


0.5*1*1.17557050458+0.5*0.66406551305*1.11803398875sin117.73230144788-0.5sin60


= 0.48335449547 square units.


Let a circle ascribe the inscribed orange regular hexagon with the circle's circumference touching the 6 vertices of the orange regular hexagon.


Let o be the radius of the now inscribed circle.


Calculating o.


(o/tan18)+(o/tan(0.5*26.26769855212)) = 1

o = 0.13580578978 unit.


p = 2o

p = 0.27161157957 unit.


Let the side of the regular hexagon be q.


Calculating q.


sin30 = r/q

r = qsin30


It implies;


q+2qsin30 = 0.27161157957

q = 0.27161157957/(1+2sin30)

q = 0.13580578978 unit.


Area Shaded is;


0.5*1*0.5sin36-0.5*0.13580578978*0.13580578978*6(1/(2tan30))


= 0.09902944132 square units.


Shaded Area ÷ Area Green to 2 decimal places is;


0.09902944132÷0.48335449547


= 0.20487952889 

≈ 0.20
