The Band around a Convex Body
Swanson, David
College Mathematics Journal, v42 n1 p15-24 Jan 2011
We give elementary proofs of formulas for the area and perimeter of a planar convex body surrounded by a band of uniform thickness. The primary tool is a integral formula for the perimeter of a convex body which describes the perimeter in terms of the projections of the body onto lines in the plane.
