Abstract
Classical problems in integral geometry and geometric probability involve the kinematic measure of congruent segments of fixed length within a convex body in .3. We give this measure from rotational formulae; that is, from isotropic plane sections through a fixed point. From this result we also obtain a new rotational formula for the volume of a convex body; which is proved to be equivalent to the wedge formula for the volume.
