In geometry, a circular segment or disk segment (symbol: ā) is a region of a disk[1] which is "cut off" from the rest of the disk by a straight line. The complete line is known as a secant, and the section inside the disk as a chord.[2]
More formally, a circular segment is a plane region bounded by a circular arc (of less than Ļ radians by convention) and the circular chord connecting its endpoints.
