Feb 21, 2011 at 21:26 comment added Anton Petrunin I agree with Douglas, you also can use the fact that projection to the hyperspace is 1-Lipshitz. Thus if you project the part outside of H to ∂H, the perimeter is decreasing. Clearly the perimeter of the image of F is at lest the perimeter of F∩H.
Feb 21, 2011 at 15:26 comment added Douglas Zare I don't think Jensen's inequality is needed. Use Stokes' theorem to say that the flux of a constant vector field perpendicular to $H$ through $F \cap \delta H$ is the same as the flux through $\delta F \backslash H$. So, the area of $F \cap \delta H$ is smaller than the area of $\delta F \backslash H$.
