In the paper some geometric properties of a convex hull are proved. For example for a compact subset \(S\) of \(E^n\), \(n\geq 2\) its convex hull is proved to be the part common to all closed half spaces of \(E^n\) supporting \(S\). In another theorem for a body \(B\) in the plane whose boundary is diffeomeorphic to the unit circle \(C^1\), it is proved that for an interior point \(x\) of a convex hull of \(B\) there exists two points \(p\) and \(q\) belonging to \(B\) such that \(x\) lies between them. The authors define the starshaped hull \(SH_p(A)\) of a set \(A\) in \(E^n\) with respect to a point \(p\;\)in \(A\;\)as the smallest starshaped subset, relative to \(p\) containing \(A\). They then prove that ,If \(A\) is contained in \(E^n\) and \(p\) is a point in \(A\), then \(SH_p(A)\) is the union of all the closed line segments \(\;L_{pq}\) joining \(p\) and \(q\) where \(q\) describes \(A\). Furthermore the authors prove that, If \(A\) is open subset of \(E^n\) , \(SH_p(A)\) is also open and if the starshaped hull \(SH_p(A)\) of \(A\) is convex it coincides with the convex hull of \(A\).
