Abstract
Let V be a two-dimensional real symmetric space with unit ball having 8n extreme points. Let λ(V) denote the absolute projection constant of V. We show that where is the space whose ball is a regular 8n-polygon. Also we reprove a result of [1] and [5] which states that for any two-dimensional real symmetric space V.
