Euclidean isoperimetric inequality (Theorem 9.4.1). Among all measurable subsets of $\mathbb{R}^n$ with a fixed Lebesgue volume, the closed ball minimizes the volume of the $t$-thickening: if $\operatorname{vol}(A) = \operatorname{vol}(B(c, r))$, then for every $t \ge 0$, $\operatorname{vol}(B(c, r)_t) \le \operatorname{vol}(A_t)$.
