There are two main "slices" of a circle: The "pizza" slice is called a Sector . And the Segment , which is cut from the circle by a "chord" (a line between two points on the circle).
A segment of a circle is the region that is bounded by an arc and a chord of the circle. Learn the process of finding the area of a segment of a circle along with a few solved examples and practice questions.
In the case of semi-circles, the circle is divided into two equal-sized sectors. The 2 radii meet at the part of the circumference of a circle known as an arc, formed a sector of a circle. Look at the following figure to distinguish between the minor sector and major sector.
The segment of a circle and area of the segment of a circle formula in terms of radians and degrees is given here. Also, learn theorems related to the segment of a circle with proof and examples.

Here we will learn about the different parts of a circle including how to identify the key parts of a circle from a diagram, how to identify the key parts of a circle from a definition and how to draw a circle with the different parts labelled e.g. the diameter of a circle.
Half Sections. If the cutting plane is passed halfway through an object, and one-quarter of the object is removed, the resulting section is a half section. A half section has the advantage of showing both inside and outside configurations. It is frequently used for symmetrical objects.

In geometry it is the shape made when a solid is cut through by a plane. Example: The cross section of this circular cylinder is a circle. We don't draw the rest of the object, just the shape made when you cut through. Example: The cross section of a rectangular pyramid is a rectangle.
