Let $ F_n$ be a set of all possible connected figures, that consist of $ n$ unit cells. For each element $ f_n$ of this set, let $ S(f_n)$ be the area of that minimal rectangle that covers $ f_n$ and each side of the rectangle is parallel to the corresponding side of the cell. Find $ max(S(f_n))$,where $ f_n\in F_n$?
Remark: Two cells are called connected if they have a common edge.
Let $m$ be a convex polygon in a plane, $l$ its perimeter and $S$ its area. Let $M\left( R\right) $ be the locus of all points in the space whose distance to $m$ is $\leq R,$ and $V\left(R\right) $ is the volume of the solid $M\left( R\right) .$
[i]a.)[/i] Prove that \[V (R) = \frac 43 \pi R^3 +\frac{\pi}{2} lR^2 +2SR.\]
Hereby, we say that the distance of a point $C$ to a figure $m$ is $\leq R$ if there exists a point $D$ of the figure $m$ such that the distance $CD$ is $\leq R.$ (This point $D$ may lie on the boundary of the figure $m$ and inside the figure.)
additional question:
[i]b.)[/i] Find the area of the planar $R$-neighborhood of a convex or non-convex polygon $m.$
[i]c.)[/i] Find the volume of the $R$-neighborhood of a convex polyhedron, e. g. of a cube or of a tetrahedron.
[b]Note by Darij:[/b] I guess that the ''$R$-neighborhood'' of a figure is defined as the locus of all points whose distance to the figure is $\leq R.$

Triangle I is equilateral with side $A$, perimeter $P$, area $K$, and circumradius $R$ (radius of the circumscribed circle). Triangle II is equilateral with side $a$, perimeter $p$, area $k$, and circumradius $r$. If $A$ is different from $a$, then:
$ \textbf{(A)}\ P:p = R:r \text{ } \text{only sometimes} \qquad\textbf{(B)}\ P:p = R:r \text{ } \text{always}\qquad$
$\textbf{(C)}\ P:p = K:k \text{ } \text{only sometimes} \qquad\textbf{(D)}\ R:r = K:k \text{ } \text{always}\qquad$
$\textbf{(E)}\ R:r = K:k \text{ } \text{only sometimes} $

Andy has 2010 square tiles, each of which has a side length of one unit. He plans to arrange
the tiles in an m x n rectangle, where mn = 2010. Compute the sum of the perimeters of all
of the different possible rectangles he can make. Two rectangles are considered to be the same
if one can be rotated to become the other, so, for instance, a 1 x 2010 rectangle is considered
to be the same as a 2010 x 1 rectangle.
The diagram shows a rectangle that has been dissected into nine non-overlapping squares. Given that the width and the height of the rectangle are relatively prime positive integers, find the perimeter of the rectangle.
