A regular hexagon (6-sided polygon) and a regular heptagon (7-sided polygon) have equal side lengths. When the two shapes are drawn such that they share one side, there will be three angles at each intersection. Determine the measure of the third angle. Draw a picture, explain your reasoning and show your calculations!
