## Abstract

It is proved that if C is a convex body in Rn then C has an affine image C̃ (of nonzero volume) so that if P is any 1-codimensional orthogonal projection, $|P\tilde{C}| \geq|\tilde{C}|^{(n-1)/n}$. It is also shown that there is a pathological body, K, all of whose orthogonal projections have volume about $\sqrt n$ times as large as |K|(n-1)/n.
