Line 2: [[Image:Circularsegment.svg\|frame\|right\|A circular segment (in green) is enclosed between a secant/chord (the dashed line) and the arc whose endpoints equal the chord's (the arc shown above the green area).]] In [[geometry]], a '''circular segment''' or '''disk segment''' (symbol: <span style="font-size:1.5em">⌓</span>)~~, also known as a '''disk segment''',~~ is a region of a [[disk (mathematics)\|disk]]<ref>Mathematics distinguishes when necessary between the words ''circle'' and ''disk'': a disk is a plane area having a circle as its boundary, while a circle is the closed curve forming the boundary itself.</ref> which is "cut off" from the rest of the disk by a straight line. The complete line is known as a ''[[secant line\|secant]]'', orand the section inside the disk as a ''[[chord (geometry)\|chord]]''. More formally, a circular segment is a region of [[Plane (mathematics)\|two-dimensional space]] that is bounded by a [[circular arc]] (of less than π radians by convention) and by the [[circular chord]] connecting the endpoints of the arc. == Formulae ==
