10. [IMC 2008 Q20] What, in cm2, is the Killer 3: [JMO 2007 B5] A window is
area of this quadrilateral? constructed of six identical panes of
glass. Each pane is a pentagon with
two adjacent sides of length two
units. The other three sides of each
pentagon, which are on the perimeter
of the window, form half of the
boundary of a regular hexagon.
Calculate the exact area of the glass in

units, is folded in half to form a
triangle. A second fold is made,
parallel to the first, so that the apex of
this triangle folds onto a point on its
base, thereby forming an isosceles
trapezium. What is the perimeter of
this trapezium?
