all pentagon sides have the same S lenght  sir ???

sir is it a equilateral pentagon with non equal  angles? or a regular pentagon(it will be easier) ?

it′s not correct sir.  you assume a=2x+s and b=x+y. but  this is not true. the triangle on point  C is not the same as the triangle on  point B. otherwise DC=a=2y!

thanks for your correction Mr W.   so that i thought DC = a = 2y.   i′ll fix it Mr W. really appreciate your  correction Sir.
