May 4, 2021 at 8:32 comment added coudy @Polizzi Well, that's part of the question. For five points $A_1$... $A_5$, an explicit formula is to be found in the book of Efimov, higher geometry. The cross ratios involved depend on $A_1$, $A_5$ and one of the intersection points of the lines $A_2A_3$, $A_2A_4$ and $A_3A_4$ with $A_1A_5$.

May 4, 2021 at 8:05 comment added Francesco Polizzi Maybe I am missing something, but cross-ratio is usually defined for $4$ points on a line. Here you have $n$ general points in the projective plane, so I expect that non even three of them are collinear. What cross-ratios are you talking about?
