Just measure the width at the base of a tooth on the chainring.... Strada is a road crank
AND IF they used the strada chainrings then they are 3/32. If you are buying one or swapping, ask the seller before purchasing.

Again, you can measure it. Or look it up online or from the Manufacturer, or tell us what brand\model\year frame and fork you dealing with.
A vernier caliper can be a very useful tool. You can even get a 6" digital one from Harbor Freight on sale usually for 10 or 15. I highly recommend them.
