RU-ALLRUSSIAN 1962 Problem 8

    Given a fixed regular pentagon ABCDE with side 1. Let M be an arbitary point inside or on it. Let the distance from M to the closest vertex be r1\mathbf{r}_1 , to the next closest be r2\mathbf{r}_2 and so on, so that the distances from M to the five vertices satisfy r1≤r2≤r3≤r4≤r5\mathbf{r}_1 \leq \mathbf{r}_2 \leq \mathbf{r}_3 \leq \mathbf{r}_4 \leq \mathbf{r}_5 . Find (a) the locus of M which gives r3\mathbf{r}_3 the minimum possible value, and (b) the locus of M which gives r3\mathbf{r}_3 the maximum possible value.
