<h2>Answer:</h2>

1. A chord is any line segment between two points on a circle.

2. A central angle is an angle between two radii in a circle.

3. An arc is a part of a circle's circumference between two points.

4. A sector is a region of a circle between two radii.

5. A segment is the smallest part of a circle you get when this is cut by a line.

By comparing these concepts we realize that they are related to circles. For instance, a segment comes up from cutting a circle by a line, and this line is a chord. On the other hand, whenever two lines, rays or line segments meet, they form an angle. The measure of an angle is found when y rotating one of the lines so it lies on the top of the other. So the central angle comes up from the lines between the radii of a circle. All the concepts are related to each other by the concept of circles, but they are different because they measure different things. For instance, the length of a chord can be measured in unit of length while the sector can be measured unit of area.
