Es seien \(C\) und \(c\) geschlossene Konturen von der Länge \(L\) und \(l\). \(PM=p\) sei die Tangente zu \(C\), \(PN=q\) die zu \(c\) und der Winkel \(MPN\) constant gleich \(\alpha\), während \(\omega\) den Winkel von \(PM\) und einer festen Gerade bezeichnet. Dann ist \[ \int_0^{2\pi}pd\omega= \frac{L+l \cos \alpha}{\sin \alpha}. \]
