A sector is basically a part of a circle in which two sides are the radius of the circle.
To explain in easy terms, Let the original circle be a pizza so a slice of that pizza(circle) is a sector.
View the attachment for diagrammatic explanation.
Hence to construct a sector follow these steps(Use a compass and ruler):-
1. Draw a circle of a suitable radius
2. On any point on the circumference draw two arcs of length not more than the diameter of the circle on either sides of your preferred point.
3. Joint the intersection of the circle and your drawn arcs with the centre of the circle.
4. Voila! You made two sectors on the circle(One bigger sector and one smaller sector or two equal sector).
