This study examines the properties of a closed geodesic polygon in a CAT(k) space that contains a geodesic surface, which is isomorphic to the region enclosed by a polygon with the same perimeter in the model space S_k. This study demonstrates the characteristics of a closed spherical curve in a CAT(k) space, which serves as the boundary for a geodesic surface. This surface is isomorphic to a disk enclosed by a circle in the model space S_k, with equal radii in the CAT(k) space.
