Abstract

We give an alternative proof of the statement, by using elimination from algebraic geometry, that the only set SR2S\subset\mathbb{R}^2, S=6\left|S\right|=6 such that all subsets that form a triangle are isosceles triangles, is the regular pentagon with its center. Our proof can be extended to answer some related questions raised by Erd\H{o}s.
