A regular pentagon and a square have the same side length.

They are joined along one common edge PQ, on opposite sides of PQ, so they do not overlap.

At the vertex P, the pentagon has an interior angle and the square has an interior angle.

Work out the size of the angle at P that is outside both the pentagon and the square.
