Erdős problem 353

Let A⊆R2A\subseteq \mathbb{R}^2 be a measurable set with infinite measure. Must AA contain the vertices of an isosceles trapezoid of area 11? What about an isosceles triangle, or a right-angled triangle, or a cyclic quadrilateral, or a convex polygon with congruent sides?

The proof uses `sorry`: part of the argument is written but not proved. Lean accepts the file; it does not accept the theorem.
