Area properties associated with a convex plane curve
Keyword(s):
AbstractArchimedes knew that for a point P on a parabola X and a chord AB of X parallel to the tangent of X at P, the area of the region bounded by the parabola X and chord AB is four thirds of the area of the triangle {\bigtriangleup ABP}. Recently, the first two authors have proved that this fact is the characteristic property of parabolas.In this paper, we study strictly locally convex curves in the plane {{\mathbb{R}}^{2}}. As a result, generalizing the above mentioned characterization theorem for parabolas, we present two conditions, which are necessary and sufficient, for a strictly locally convex curve in the plane to be an open arc of a parabola.
