In segmentation, the address space is typically divided into a preset number of segments like data segment (read/write), code segment(read-only), stack(read/write) etc. And the programs are divided into these segments accordingly. Logical addresses are represented as tuple <segment, offset>.
While with paging, the address space is divided into a sequence of fixed size units called "pages". And logical addresses take the form of a tuple <page, offset>.
Each of these techniques offer several benefits e.g., segmentation offers better security since the segments are pre-defined and we can avoid spurious reads/writes at the time of address translations etc.
On the other hand, paging helps reduce fragmentation and ensures better memory management.
So, most modern operating systems employ a combination of both these techniques for their memory management.

Difference between pre-tensioned and post-tensioned?
what a wicked page, really helpfull Difference between pre-tensioned and post-tensioned?
How do you get segmented base and offset when you have logical address?
You cannot. The conversion goes this way: segment+offset -> [segment-table] -> linear_address -> [page-table] -> physical_address PS: In most cases there is only one (4GB long) segment (or one code-segment and one data-segment), so offset is quite the same as linear address
What are webpages explain with examples?
Right in this moment you are reading a web-page.
What is the space between the page content and the edges of the page?
The space between a page's content and the edge of the page is called "margin" in printing, as well as web design.
What is the difference between print preview and print command?
the print command gives an order to the computer to print a page but the print preview gives us a preview of the way in which it has to be printed
