In the given figure, O is the centre of the circle,
a) Name a chord, which is not the diameter of the circle.
b) Shade sectors OAC and OPB.
c) Shade smaller segment of the circle formed by CP.

A chord of a circle is a straight line segment whose both endpoints lie on the circle. The longest chord which passes through the centre of the circle is known as diameter.
The portion of a circle enclosed by two radii is known as the sector. The segments of a circle are the region bounded by a chord and the arc subtended by the chord.
a) CP is a chord which is not the diameter of the circle because it does not pass through the centre. (1 mark)
b) Shaded sectors OAC and OPB are
