Definition:Spherical Segment/One Base

Definition

Let $S$ be a spherical segment such that one of whose bases is tangent to the sphere from which it is formed.

Then $S$ is referred to as a spherical segment of one base.

Thus a spherical segment of one base is bounded by one circular base and a zone of one base of the sphere.
