In [[geometry]], a '''circular segment''' (symbol: <span style="font-size:1.5em">⌓</span>) is a region of a [[circle]] which is "cut off" from the rest of the circle by a [[secant line|secant]] or a [[chord (geometry)|chord]]. More formally, a circular segment is a region of [[two-dimensional space]] that is bounded by an [[arc (geometry)|arc]] (of less than Π radians by convention) of a circle and by the chord connecting the endpoints of the arc.
