14 \(ABCDE\) and \(AWXYZ\) are two mathematically similar pentagons.

Pentagon ABCDE inside the larger similar pentagon AWXYZ sharing vertex A, with the region between them shaded; AE = 4 cm, DE = 5 cm, WX = 6 cm, YZ = 8 cm

Diagram NOT accurately drawn

\(AE = 4\) cm   \(WX = 6\) cm   \(DE = 5\) cm   \(YZ = 8\) cm

(a) Calculate the length of \(AZ\). (2)
(b) Calculate the length of \(BC\). (2)

The area of pentagon \(AWXYZ\) is 52.48 cm\(^2\)

(c) Calculate the area of the shaded region. (3)
