For \(a>0\), \(p>0\), \(p^ 2/a\geq 4\pi\) let \b{C}(a,p) be the class of all convex discs in the Euclidean plane with area at least a and perimeters at most p. Let \b{P}\({}_ k\) be the class of all convex polygons having at most k vertices. For convex discs C,D let \(\delta^ A(C,D)\) denote the area of the symmetric difference of C and D. Let \(p^ 2/4\pi a<t\). Through elaborate arguments and calculations the author arrives at a complete description of the convex discs \(C\in \underline C(a,p)\) and the convex polygons \(P\in \underline P_ k\) for which \(\delta^ A(C,D)\) attains its minimum. In his proof the author makes use of results of Besicovitch, Eggleston, Fejes Tóth and himself.
