Solution
Let be the unlabeled point joined to and Because all the drawn segments have length triangles and are equilateral and lie on opposite sides of Hence so
The same reasoning on the other side gives Also, the Law of Cosines in gives and similarly Thus the altitude of isosceles triangle to its base is
Therefore The pentagon’s total area is
so
Thus, the answer is D .
