The application of geometry of roofs (straight skeletons) and, related to that, Voronoi diagrams for polygons to solve optimization tasks such as determination of the routes of surveys of regions with minimal static moments with respect to the sides of polygons is discussed. A special interpretation of the notion of static moment with respect to the segment of line and a polygon with respect to the border is explained and an appropriate theorem is formulated and proved. Examples of potential employment of these notions have been indicated.
