The hexagon GIKMPR and FJN are regular. The dashed line segments form 30 degree angles.
2 answers:
We know that for each triangle made up by dashed line segment forms 30° angles, so, for example, ∠GOH is 30° and then ∠HOI is 30°
Rotating the shape 240° around the centre is the same as counting in 30°
The triangle GOH will first fit the triangle HOI then triangle IOJ and so on until it has completed 8 times 30° turn. Its final position is shown in the diagram below

I wrote that the degrees are 70 each because it is isocolese and 140/2=70
a.
to solve for the diagonal, I'm going to use trig to find the height and the base then use pythagorean theorem to find the diagonal
so
see I've drawn an auxiliry line to make a right triangle on the leftmost side
so
we want to find the height and base
sin(70°)=h/7
so 7sin(70°)=h≈6.57785
cos(70°)=base/7
so 7cos(70°)=base≈2.39414
now
the entire long base is 22, so that big triangle with the diagonal as the hyptonuse is 22-2.39414=19.6059
use pythagorean theorem, like 6.57785²+19.6059²=diagonal²
we get that the diagonal is about 20.68ft
b.
we got that the base was 7cos(70°)
2 of those bases so 22-14cos(70°)=17.2117ft or rounded 17.21ft
a. 20.68ft
b. 17.21ft
