Abstract
We prove that if and are compact convex sets contained in a convex -gon with vertices , and is strictly greater than the number of common supporting lines of and , then there exist and such that is in the convex hull of and . This recovers and generalizes previous results of Adaricheva--Bolat and Cz{\'e}dli. We also show that this bound is sharp for even .
