Example of a set requiring d+1 points (Caratheodory theorem)

Hi,
I have a trivial doubt about a form of Caratheodory theorem which has
applications in Information Theory. The statement of the theorem is,
"Any point in the convex closure of a connected compact set A in a d
dimension Euclidean space can be represented as a convex combination
of d+1 or fewer points in the original set A."
My problem is that I am unable to find any example where d+1 points
are required. (It is easy to find examples where only d points
suffice). In addition, is there an example in R^n?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Dash
