Since ABCDE is a regular pentagon and OCD is an equilateral triangle
AB = BC = CD = DE = EA = OC = OD
We know, each interior angle of a regular pentagon is 108°
∠CDE = ∠ODC + ∠ODE
108° = 60° + ∠ODE
∠ODE = 48°
Now, In triangle ODE, OD = DE i.e. ∠DEO = ∠DOE = x
∠ODE + ∠DEO + ∠DOE = 180°
48° + 2x = 180°
x = 66°
Also, ∠DEA = ∠OED + ∠AEO
108° = 66° + ∠AEO
∠AEO = 42°
AB = BC = CD = DE = EA = OC = OD

∠CDE = ∠ODC + ∠ODE
