Since they are regular polygons all their internal angles are equals
Internal Angle of Pentagon = 108o
Internal Angle of Hexagon = 120o
Triangle formed by the line m, the Hexagon and line connecting the two polygons is an equilateral triangle.
Its hard to explain since the diagram hasn't named the points.
Now, the triangle formed by line l, the Pentagon and line connecting the two polygons -
The angle just above x is equal to 180o−108o=72o
The angle formed by intersection of line l and joining-line will be 60o
So xo+72o+60o=180o
xo=180o−132o= 48o
