# Volume inequality between projections of a convex symmetric set in $\mathbb R^3$

Let $K$ be a centrally symmetric convex body in $\mathbb R^3$ with volume ${\rm vol}(K)=1$. Let for any subset $F \subset \lbrace1,2,3\rbrace$, let $K_F$ be the projection of $K$ in $\mathbb R^F$.

Question: What is the best constant $C$, such that

$${\rm vol}(K_{\lbrace 1 \rbrace}) \leq C \cdot {\rm vol}(K_{\lbrace 1,2 \rbrace}) \cdot {\rm vol}(K_{\lbrace 1,3 \rbrace}).$$
