Let K be a bounded, closed convex set in the euclidean plane. We denote the diameter, width, perimeter, area, inradius, and circumradius of K by d, w, p, A, r, and R respectively. We establish a number of best possible upper bounds for (w−2r)d, (w−2r)R,(w−2r)p, (w−2r)A in terms of w and r. Examples are:
