Abstract
Let K be a convex pentagon in the plane and let K1 be the pentagon bounded by the diagonals of K. It has been conjectured that the maximum of the ratio between the areas of K1 and K is reached when K is an affine regular pentagon. In this paper we prove this conjecture. We also show that for polygons with at least six vertices the trivial answers are the best possible.
