Let $X$ be a bounded, nonempty set of points in the Cartesian plane. Let $f(X)$ be the set of all points that are at a distance of at most $1$ from some point in $X$. Let $f_n(X) = f(f(\cdots(f(X))\cdots))$ ($n$ times). Show that $f_n(X)$ becomes “more circular” as $n$ gets larger. In other words, if $r_n = \sup\{\text{radii of circles contained in } f_n(X) \}$ and $R_n = \inf \{\text{radii of circles containing } f_n(X)\}$, then show that $R_n/r_n$ gets arbitrarily close to $1$ as $n$ becomes arbitrarily large.
