The minor sector is shaded in green while the major sector is shaded white. A circular sector, also known as circle sector or disk sector or simply a sector (symbol: ⌔), is the portion of a disk (a closed region bounded by a circle) enclosed by two radii and an arc, with the smaller area being known as the minor sector and the larger being the major sector. [1]
The area a of the circular segment is equal to the area of the circular sector minus the area of the triangular portion (using the double angle formula to get an equation in terms of ): a = R 2 2 ( θ − sin θ ) {\displaystyle a={\tfrac {R^{2}}{2}}\left(\theta -\sin \theta \right)}
The formula for the area of a circle (more properly called the area enclosed by a circle or the area of a disk) is based on a similar method. Given a circle of radius r , it is possible to partition the circle into sectors , as shown in the figure to the right.

Using radians, the formula for the arc length s of a circular arc of radius r and subtending a central angle of measure 𝜃 is =, and the formula for the area A of a circular sector of radius r and with central angle of measure 𝜃 is A = 1 2 θ r 2 . {\displaystyle A={\frac {1}{2}}\theta r^{2}.}
In geometry, a spherical sector, [1] also known as a spherical cone, [2] is a portion of a sphere or of a ball defined by a conical boundary with apex at the center of the sphere. It can be described as the union of a spherical cap and the cone formed by the center of the sphere and the base of the cap.

Just as the area below a line is proportional to the length of the line between boundaries, and the area of a circular sector is a ratio of the arc length (=) of the sector (=), the area between an involute and its bounding circle is also proportional to the involute's arc length =: = = for < <.
