Regular pentagon ABCDE and regular hexagon AEFGHI are drawn on opposite sides of line segment AE such that they are coplanar. What is the degree measure of exterior angle DEF?

Here is the picture

Thank you in advance!

What is the degree measure of exterior angle DEF?

Here is the picture

 

\(\begin{array}{|rcll|} \hline \angle DEA &=& \dfrac{(5-2)*180^\circ}{5} \\ \angle DEA &=& \dfrac{3*180^\circ}{5} \\ \angle DEA &=& 3*36^\circ \\ \mathbf{\angle DEA} &=& \mathbf{108^\circ} \\\\ \angle AEF &=& \dfrac{(6-2)*180^\circ}{6} \\ \angle AEF &=& \dfrac{4*180^\circ}{6} \\ \angle AEF &=& 4*30^\circ \\ \mathbf{\angle AEF} &=& \mathbf{120^\circ} \\\\ \angle DEF &=& 360^\circ - \angle DEA - \angle AEF \\ \angle DEF &=& 360^\circ - 108^\circ - 120^\circ \\ \angle DEF &=& 360^\circ - 108^\circ - 120^\circ \\ \angle DEF &=& 360^\circ - 228^\circ \\ \mathbf{\angle DEF} &=& \mathbf{132^\circ} \\ \hline \end{array}\)

:o wow that helped a lot! I did not think that they would be coplanar...

Thanks!!
