Pentagonal tilings

Geometry Level 4

Above shows a tessellation of identical pentagons.

Given that the side lengths of one of these pentagons are a = 16 , b = 8 , c = 4 6 + 4 2 , 8 , 8 a = 16, b = 8, c =4 \sqrt6 +4\sqrt2,8,8 with angles A = 6 0 , B = 13 5 , C = 10 5 , D = 9 0 , E = 15 0 A=60^\circ, B=135^\circ,C=105^\circ,D=90^\circ,E=150^\circ . And it has an area of

Y + Z 3 \large Y + Z\sqrt3

for positive integers Y Y and Z Z . Find the value of Y + Z Y+Z .
