Three projection areas of a volume-one body

ID: three-projection-areas-of-a-volume-one-body

Positive numbers are the areas of the three coordinate projections of a volume-one Euclidean body exactly when . Necessity is the three-dimensional Loomis--Whitney inequality. For sufficiency take box lengths , and , and retain the union of the three slabs with first, second or third normalized coordinate at most . All three projections are full rectangles, while volume is . Choosing gives volume one. The slabs have positive thickness, so the construction uses a body with interior rather than zero-volume additions.
