Abstract: In this paper the authors establish the following inverse inequality of Yang-Zhang's inequality for the width of a simplex: Let Ω be an n-dimensional simplex with volume Voln(\Omega)$,width w(Ω), and facet areas S1,S2,,Sn+1 respectively, then

w(Ω)rnVoln(Ω)max1in+1(Si),

where
γn={\disp2nn+1,for odd  n;2,for even  n.

As applications, the authors show some inequalities for orthogonal projections and sections of convex bodies.

Key words: Convex body, Width, Simplex, Volume
