Remember what we did on problem 5.3 in class. In this problem, polygon $P$ is the figure that you get after gluing together the two pentagons and the other polygon together.

As an example, if the problem was saying that you want to glue together $4$ equilateral triangles, and $1$ regular hexagon, all of them with the same side length, polygon $P$ would look like this:
