Can you explain in more detail what you mean by cutting the circles by the radii? If I create a circle and then a straight line through it (either completely through or as a radius) and then select both objects and select path -> division both objects just disappear.
I've messed around with all the path functions and nothing seems to create separate sectors. I'm trying to do it on the most simple examples and can't get any division of sectors.

I think you need to change the way you think about it.
In a bitmap editor, you create borders and then fill the interiors.
In a vector editor, you create _objects_. Each object has a border (stroke) and a fill of its own. The fill and stroke are both properties of the object.
For this specific graphic, start by drawing concentric circles with fill. Then add the radii (straight line objects). Then cut the circles by the radii (Path > Divide). This will give you the separate sector objects to which you can apply different fill colors and stroke style.
Or you can create the secors directly from circles, without cutting, by dragging the handles. See the Shapes tutorial for details.
