A regular spatial pentagon consists of five points P1,P2,P3,P4,P5P_1, P_2, P_3, P_4, P_5 in R3\mathbb{R}^3 such that ∣PiPi+1∣=∣PjPj+1∣|P_iP_{i+1}| = |P_jP_{j+1}| and ∠Pi−1PiPi+1=∠Pj−1PjPj+1\angle P_{i-1}P_iP_{i+1} = \angle P_{j-1}P_jP_{j+1} for all 1≤i,j≤51 \leq i,j \leq 5, where P0=P5P_0 = P_5 and P6=P1P_6 = P_1. A regular spatial pentagon is planar if there is a plane passing through all five points P1,P2,P3,P4,P5P_1, P_2, P_3, P_4, P_5.

Show that every regular spatial pentagon is planar.
