1.I am trying to prove that two circles has the same cardinality I declared two intervals $[0,2\pi R]$ and $[0,2\pi \widetilde{R}]$ I build I bijection between the two interval It's the correct proof ? $2$.The equation for a closed disk $(x-a)^{2}+(y-b)^{2}\leqslant R^{2}$. Can I prove it by doing in the same way that I prove the circles cardinality but now with the area $\pi R^{2}$ instead of using the circumference. Thanks

    Notice that any continuous curve has the cardinality of $\mathbb{R}$ being an injective image of $[0, 1]$ and also every set containing an open set can be shown to contain a continuous curve and thus has the same cardinality.2012-08-20

    $(1)$. Need to be careful, you want to prove a *geometric* fact. Note want to use half-open intervals, like $[0,2\pi R)$. One cannot assess what you did without being given some detail. $(2)$. Again, need explicit geometric bijection.2012-08-20

    Hello Nicolas:Why did you write half open interval $[0,2\pi R)$ if the point $2\pi R$ is a memeber it is the last point of the circle.2012-08-20
