The area enclosed by a chord is equal to the area enclosed by a segment minus the area enclosed by the triangle with the same corners as the segment. To visualise it, draw a circle and put a chord on it. Label the chord AB and the centre of the circle C. The area of sector AB equal to the area of sector ABC minus the area of triangle ABC.

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
