What is a segment in a circle?

Back

A segment in a circle is a region bounded by a chord and the arc that it subtends.

What is the formula for the area of a circle segment?

Back

The area of a circle segment can be calculated using the formula: Area = (r^2/2) * (θ - sin(θ)), where r is the radius and θ is the angle in radians.
