A sector is the area of a circle defined by an angle from the center and the arc of the circle.
This area equals angle theta / 360 x pi x radius squared.
example: r=2 inches, theta = 60 degrees
then: 60/360 x 3.141592 x 2*2 = 1/6 x 3.141592 x 4 = 2.0944 sq. in.
I'm assuming by minor segment you mean the one defined by an angle less than 180 degrees. and that the remainder is the greater segment?
If it is a sector of a circle then the arc is the curved part of the circle which forms a boundary of the sector.
That would certainly do it.
If you have the arc length:where:L is the arc length.R is the radius of the circle of which the sector is part.
Multiply ( pi R2 ) by [ (angle included in the sector) / 360 ].

If it is a sector of a circle then the arc is the curved part of the circle which forms a boundary of the sector.
Geometrically, the parts of a circle are the diameter, radius, chord(s), circumference, arc, sector, segment, tangent, secant, the minor sector, and the major sector.
Area of sector/Area of circle = Angle of sector/360o Area of sector = (Area of circle*Angle of sector)/360o
That would certainly do it.
For a circle where sector measures 10 degrees and the diameter of the circle is 12: Sector area = 3.142 square units.
If you have the arc length:where:L is the arc length.R is the radius of the circle of which the sector is part.
It depends on what information you have: the radius and the area of the sector or the length of the arc.
Multiply ( pi R2 ) by [ (angle included in the sector) / 360 ].

area of sector = (angle at centre*area of circle)/360
If the sector of a circle has a central angle of 50 and an area of 605 cm2, the radius is: 37.24 cm
