An arc length is called a minor arc if the arc length enclosed by the two radii
is smaller than a semi-circle.
Angle subtended by the minor arc at the centre is less than 180˚.
An arc length is called a major arc if the arc length enclosed by the two radii
is greater than a semi-circle.
Angle subtended by the minor arc at the centre is more than 180˚.
A region of a circle is enclosed by any two radii and the arc intercepted between
two radii is called the sector of a circle.
A sector is called a minor sector if the minor arc of the circle is part of its
boundary.
A sector is called a major sector if the major arc of the circle is part of its
boundary.
The region enclosed by an arc and a chord is called a segment of the circle.
Minor Segment
The region enclosed by the chord PQ & minor arc PRQ is called the minor segment.
Major Segment
The region enclosed by the chord PQ & major arc PSQ is called the major segment.
