Abstract

In this paper, the following two theorems are proved: (1)(1) every spherical convex body WW of constant width Δ(W)π2\Delta (W) \geq \frac{\pi}{2} may be covered by a disk of radius Δ(W)+arcsin(233cosΔ(W)2)π2\Delta(W) + \arcsin \left( \frac{2\sqrt{3}}{3} \cdot \cos \frac{\Delta(W)}{2}\right) - \frac{\pi}{2}; (2)(2) every reduced spherical convex body RR of thickness Δ(R)<π2\Delta(R)<\frac{\pi}{2} may be covered by a disk of radius arctan(2tanΔ(R)2)\arctan \left( \sqrt{2} \cdot \tan \frac{\Delta(R)}{2}\right).
