sector
A sector of a circle would fit the given description
It could be an arc (a curved portion of the circumference), a chord (the straight line distance between two points) , or a wedge (the plane area bounded by two radii and an arc).Remember the circle is a plane figure, not the curved line we draw. " A circle is bounded ... ."
Working in degrees, the angle of the greater radius, minus the lesser radius, all over 360, gives the proportion of the area of the circle that is bounded by the radii. This can then be multiplied by the area of the whole circle to give the bounded area.
you have a triangle formed by the radius on 2 and the chord on the other. the angle in that triangle that is opposite the chord, find its measure in radians take that measure (in radians) and multiply it by the radius to get the arc length
A part of a circle (the area) bounded by an arc and a chord is termed a circular segment. A link can be found below.

A piece of the circumference of a circle is called an arc A piece of the area of a circle bounded by an arc and two radii is called A sector. A piece of the area of a circle bounded by an arc and a chord is called a segment

An arc is part of the circumference of a circle and a chord is a straight line that meets two points of the circumference with the diameter being the largest chord.
The segment is called a secant.The area bounded by a secant and its arc is a sector.
No. Because a radius extends from the arc to the point. Chord extends from one point of the arc to another.
