1. Find the angle $\angle DEI$ at the common vertex $E$.

For the regular hexagon, ∠DEF=120∘\angle DEF = 120^\circ.

For the regular pentagon, ∠FEI=108∘\angle FEI = 108^\circ.

Angles around point EE add up to 360∘360^\circ, so
∠DEI=360∘−120∘−108∘=132∘.\angle DEI = 360^\circ - 120^\circ - 108^\circ = 132^\circ.

2. Use the isosceles triangle property in triangle $DEI$.

Since DEDE is a side of the regular hexagon and EIEI is a side of the regular pentagon, and both share side EFEF,
DE=EF=EI.DE = EF = EI.

Hence triangle DEIDEI is isosceles, so
∠EDI=∠DIE.\angle EDI = \angle DIE.

Therefore
∠EDI=180∘−132∘2=24∘.\angle EDI = \frac{180^\circ - 132^\circ}{2} = 24^\circ.

Answer

∠EDI=24∘\angle EDI = 24^\circ
