They prove that the area of the midpoint pentagon is equal to P/2 plus one fourth of the area of the star pentagon. But for the area of the star polygon they count the area of the middle pentagon twice (for some strange reason). In my opinion the arguments presented in the link show the equivalence between the two formulations of the problem given by Manuel. | |
