Abstract: Topological means are used for the study of approximation of $2$-dimensional sections of a $3$-dimensional convex body by affine-regular pentagons and approximation of a centrally symmetric convex body by a prism. Also, the problem of estimating the relative surface area of the sphere in a normed $3$-space, the problem on universal covers for sets of unit diameter in Euclidean space, and some related questions are considered.
