In [[geometry]], a '''circular segment''' (also '''circle segment''') is an area of a [[circle]] informally defined as an area which is "cut off" from the rest of the circle by a [[secant line|secant]] or a [[chord (geometry)|chord]]. The circle segment constitutes the part between the secant and an arc, excluding the circle's center.
