For nonempty open sets A,B⊂Rn, the Lebesgue measure of their Minkowski sum satisfies
λn​(A+B)1/n≥λn​(A)1/n+λn​(B)1/n.

It also holds for compact sets and in standard measurable-set formulations with the appropriate measurability qualification. Normalize both volumes to one and apply the Prékopa–Leindler inequality to indicator functions.
