When piece of a circle is determined by two radii that piece is best called a?

I always called it an arc. It is simply a section of the circle. The ends are determined by the two radii you referenced. Each of the radii start at the center of the circle and end at their intersection with the circle. The portion of the circle that lies between the ends of the two radii is an arc.


Can the radius of a circle be found if you only have a piece of the circle?

If you have the area of the piece and you know how much the piece takes up. For example if you have a piece of a circle and you know it is 1/4 if the circle then you take the area and multiply by 4.
