Let the side length of the regular pentagon be 1 unit.


a² = 2-2cos108

a = 1.61803398875 units.

a is the side length of the square.


sin18 = b/1

b = 0.30901699437 units.


cos18 = c/1

c = 0.9510565163 units.


d = 1.61803398875-0.9510565163 

d = 0.66697747245 units.


e = 1.61803398875-0.30901699437

e = 1.30901699438 units.


It implies, the required angle x° is;


tanx = 0.66697747245/1.30901699438

x = 27°
