Segment
A portion of a Circle whose upper boundary is a circular Arc and whose lower boundary is a Chord making aCentral Angle 
radians (180°), illustrated above as the shaded region. Let 
be the radius of theCircle, 
the Chord length, 
the Arc Length, 
the height of the arced portion, and 
the heightof the triangular portion. Then

where the formula for the Isosceles Triangle in terms of the Vertex angle has been used (Beyer 1987).See also Chord, Circle-Circle Intersection, Cylindrical Segment, Lens,Parabolic Segment, Sagitta, Sector, Spherical Segment
