Is it a Segment or Sector?
A circular segment is the region bounded by a chord and the arc subtended by the chord. It's essentially a 'Sector' minus the 'Triangle' formed by the radii and the chord. Think of the crust part of a pizza slice if you cut off the pointy end.

Pro Tips
The formula relies on θ being in radians.
h = r(1 - cos(θ/2)).
c = 2r sin(θ/2).

Fun Facts
"Circular segments appear frequently in architecture (arches) and engineering (fluid in pipes)."
