Problem Statement

Let n3n\ge3 be an integer. Two regular nn-gons A\mathcal{A} and B\mathcal{B} are given in the plane. Prove that the vertices of A\mathcal{A} that lie inside B\mathcal{B} or on its boundary are consecutive.
(That is, prove that there exists a line separating those vertices of A\mathcal{A} that lie inside B\mathcal{B} or on its boundary from the other vertices of A\mathcal{A}.)
