(i) State and prove the isoperimetric inequality for plane curves. You may appeal to Wirtinger's inequality as long as you state it precisely.
(ii) State Fenchel's theorem for curves in space.
(iii) Let be a closed regular plane curve bounding a region . Suppose , for , i.e. contains a rectangle of dimensions . Let denote the signed curvature of with respect to the inward pointing normal, where is parametrised anticlockwise. Show that there exists an such that .
