#### Tessellating Equilateral Pentagon
This is a simple tessellating pattern: an equilateral pentagon, four of which make a hexagon. Of course, it is not a regular pentagon. But it has interesting properties. Within each pentagon, there are two right angles, the measure of the other three angles are to be calculated.
I first figured out the measure of one of the two congruent angles, which is 45° + arccos(sqrt(2)/4). Then, I mirrored the sketches around. This makes a nice starting des
