This is a continuation of the author's article [3], and it contains further problems connected with the theory of convex sets in En. To the list of general references in [3] may be added the recent book [2] on convex polyhedra.

1) Let A and B be two convex bodies in E2 and let a packing P = {B1, B2, …} be an infinite sequence of homothetic images of B sucn that:

  1. a) each Bn is a subset of A,

  2. b) no two of them share interior points,

  3. c) Area (A) =

The existence of such packings is guaranteed by Vitali's Theorem. Let D(X) be the diameter of the set X and put .
