Wondering if the Cadaco game discs are the same size? Thanks

Get a string and go around the circumference and then divide by 3.14 that will give you the diameter.
At least I think that's how you do it.
been a long time since I had to do that.

Jeff's way is the easiest way, just make sure you measure through the center.
For some reason last night I was thinking measuring through the center would give the radius.
Like I said it has been a long time since I failed 10th grade geometry.

diameter is what I am looking for I think
radius is half the cirumference?
circumference is the area in size and thats when pie is used?
Maybe Bob can raise his hand and tell me if the Cadaco and these 70's discs are the same size
so when I submit them (Cadaco) I won't get the dreaded mylar sleeve.

Can I borrow your brain Jeff?

....put the lime in the coconut and .....
Point ... A location in space - a dot on a piece of paper
Line ... Connects two points via the shortest path and continues indefintely (forever) in both directions
Line Segment ... Part of a line between two points
Perpendicular Line Segment ... Line Segments that intersect (cross) at an angle of 90°
Parallel Line Segments ... Line segements that never intersect (they are always the same distance apart)
Right Angle ... An angle that measures 90°
Acute Angle ...An angle that measures less than 90°
Obtuse Angle... An angle that measures more than 90°
Vertex ... Point at which two line segments intersect (forming an angle)
Scalene Triangle ... A triangle with all three sides with different lengths
Isosceles Triangle ... A triangle with two equal length sides (and two equal internal angles)
Equilateral Triangle... A traingle with all three sides of equal length (each internal angles = 60°)
Radius ... Distance (line segment) from center of a circle to any point on that circle's circumference.
Diameter ... A line segment (or length) joining two points on a circles circumference and passes through the circle's center (twice the length of the radius)
Circumference ... Distance around a circle (the perimeter)
Chord ... A line segment joining two points on a curve.
Arc ... Part of a curve

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.
The distance around the inside of the circle is called the disc I believe.

C/D=Pi
Pi is a known (3.1417) so if you know or can measure the radius or circumerence it is a simple plug and chug equation to solve for the unknown.
Here is the derivation...
C=2*Pi*Radius
D=2*Radius
C/D=2*Pi*Radius/2*Radius
Cancel out like terms and you are left with
C/D=Pi
Parabola: A plane curve formed by the intersection of a right circular cone and a plane parallel to an element of the cone or by the locus of points equidistant from a fixed line and a fixed point not on the line.
It's also a sweet Tool song!
