We show that a Banach space has modulus of convexity of power type p if and only if best approximants to points from straight lines are uniformly strongly unique of order p. Assuming that the space is smooth, we derive a characterisation of the best simultaneous approximant to two elements, and use the characterisation to prove that p–type modulus of convexity implies order p strong unicity of the simultaneous approximant.
