Line 4: In [[geometry]], a '''circular segment''' or '''disk segment''' (symbol: <span style="font-size:1.5em">⌓</span>) 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]]'', and the section inside the disk as a ''[[chord (geometry)\|chord]]''. More formally, a circular segment is a ~~region of~~ [[Plane (mathematics)\|~~two-dimensional~~plane ~~space~~region]] ~~that is~~ bounded by a [[circular arc]] (of less than π radians by convention) and by the [[circular chord]] connecting ~~the~~its endpoints ~~of the arc~~. == Formulae ==
