Understanding Segment of a Circle and Its Area

Subject: Mathematics

Book: Maths Mastery

A circle segment is the region enclosed by a chord and the corresponding arc. To find its area, subtract the area of the associated triangle from the area of the sector. If a chord subtends a central angle θ at the circle’s center, the sector area is (θ/360°) × πr², and the triangle area can be found via (1/2)r² sin(θ) if θ is in radians or through other geometry methods. Circle segments appear in architectural designs, track engineering, or graphics. Proficiency in calculating segment areas refines your skill in dissecting circular shapes into more manageable components.
