Answer
(i) The centre of the circle is the fixed point from which all points on the circle are at an equal distance.
∴ The centre of the circle is O.
(ii) A radius is a line segment from the centre of the circle to any point on the circle.
∴ The three radii are .
(iii) A diameter is a chord of the circle that passes through its centre.
∴ The diameter is .
(iv) A chord is a line segment joining any two points on the circle.
∴ A chord is .
(v) A point lies in the interior of a circle if its distance from the centre is less than the radius of the circle.
∴ Two points in the interior are O and P.
(vi) A point lies in the exterior of a circle if its distance from the centre is greater than the radius of the circle.
∴ A point in the exterior is Q.
(vii) A sector is the part of the circular region enclosed by an arc of the circle and its two bounding radii.
∴ A sector is AOB (enclosed by radii and arc AB).
(viii) A segment is the part of the circular region enclosed by a chord and the corresponding arc.
Segment EFD(shaded portion).
