Let $ C$ denote the set of functions $ f(x)$, integrable (according to either Riemann or Lebesgue) on $ (a,b)$, with $ 0\le f(x)\le1$. An element $ \phi(x)\in C$ is said to be an "extreme point" of $ C$ if it can not be represented as the arithmetical mean of two different elements of $ C$. Find the extreme points of $ C$ and the functions $ f(x)\in C$ which can be obtained as "weak limits" of extreme points $ \phi_n(x)$ of $ C$. (The latter means that $ \lim_{n\to \infty}\int_a^b \phi_n(x)h(x)\,dx\equal{}\int_a^bf(x)h(x)\,dx$ holds for every integrable function $ h(x)$.)

The rectangle with vertices $(0,0)$, $(0,3)$, $(2,0)$ and $(2,3)$ is rotated clockwise through a right angle about the point $(2,0)$, then about $(5,0)$, then about $(7,0$), and finally about $(10,0)$. The net effect is to translate it a distance $10$ along the $x$-axis. The point initially at $(1,1)$ traces out a curve. Find the area under this curve (in other words, the area of the region bounded by the curve, the $x$-axis and the lines parallel to the $y$-axis through $(1,0)$ and $(11,0)$).
