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?

How do you find the arc in a sector?
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.
To find the area of a sector you multiply the area of the circle by the fraction of the circle covered by that sector?
That would certainly do it.
How to find a sector area in a circle if you have only the arc length?
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.
How do you find an area of a sector of a circle?
Multiply ( pi R2 ) by [ (angle included in the sector) / 360 ].
