Completed maths problems involving area for things with segments (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

satsumas

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'things with segments' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'completed maths problems involving area' is the wordplay.
'completed maths' becomes 'sat' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'problems' becomes 'sums' (arithmetic problems).
'involving' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'area' becomes 'a' (maths abbreviation).
'sums' going around 'a' is 'sumas'.
'sat'+'sumas'='SATSUMAS'

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for satsumas that I've seen before include "Small oranges" , "Seedless mandarins" , "Seedless oranges with thin skin" , "Sam sat us down to the oranges" , "Oranges from a Japanese province" .)
