Let be a convex polygon in a plane, its perimeter and its area. Let be the locus of all points in the space whose distance to is and is the volume of the solid
a.) Prove that
Hereby, we say that the distance of a point to a figure is if there exists a point of the figure such that the distance is (This point may lie on the boundary of the figure and inside the figure.)
additional question:
b.) Find the area of the planar -neighborhood of a convex or non-convex polygon
c.) Find the volume of the -neighborhood of a convex polyhedron, e. g. of a cube or of a tetrahedron.
Note by Darij: I guess that the ''-neighborhood'' of a figure is defined as the locus of all points whose distance to the figure is
