Comments to attach:

1. Draw a circle
2. Convert it to outlines (Ctrl+Shift+C)
3. Draw an angle line like this one: /\
4. Put this line on the outlined circle
5. Select both objects
6. Apply Divide (Ctrl+/) boolean action
7. There you have a sector. Mess with it  ;)

Thanks Alexandre,
I seem to have finally figured it out.  My graphic isn't perfect, but it is good enough for what I need.  I had to cheat to get the sector separators on some parts because I was using union by mistake when I should have been using combine.

Thanks for the help.
I've attached my grahpic for what it is worth.  The only thing that would have been better is if I could have made the ring segments the same size, they get smaller as you get closer to the middle because I created my outside circle and sliced the segments, then cloned them and scaled down to the middle.  But it will do.
