Basic Concept of Segment
A segment is one part of a circle that we often encounter in daily life. Imagine a round cake that is cut with a straight knife, the part that is separated from the cake is similar to the concept of a segment in circle geometry.
A segment is a region inside a circle that is bounded by a chord and the arc of the circle that is in front of the chord. In other words, a segment is the part of a circle that is "cut off" by a straight line connecting two points on the circumference of the circle.
