Problem Statement

Let P \mathcal{P} be a convex polygon with n n sides, n3 n\ge3. Any set of n \minus{} 3 diagonals of P \mathcal{P} that do not intersect in the interior of the polygon determine a triangulation of P \mathcal{P} into n \minus{} 2 triangles. If P \mathcal{P} is regular and there is a triangulation of P \mathcal{P} consisting of only isosceles triangles, find all the possible values of n n.
