Reflect the entire figure around the diameter of the semicircle.
Then suppose F was reflected to F ′ . F F ′ = 2 F G = D E = E F .
Since all five sides of the polygon obtained are equal and it is in a circle, it means that we have a regular pentagon. The interior angle of a regular pentagon is 1 0 8 ° . Half of that is the angle we want to find which is 5 4 ° .
