Abstract
We consider bounded sets in a plane. If X is such a set, we denote by Pθ(X) the projection of X on the line y = x tan θ, where x and y belong to some fixed coordinate system. By f(θ, X) we denote the measure of Pθ(X), taking this, in general, as an outer Lebesgue measure. The least upper bound of f (θ, X) for all θ we denote by M. We write sm X for the outer two-dimensional Lebesgue measure of X. Then G. Szekeres(1) has proved that if X consists of a finite number of continua,Béla v. Sz. Nagy(2) has obtained a stronger inequality, and it is the purpose of this paper to show that these results hold for more general classes of sets.
