You can try this script.

var d = app.activeDocument.artboards[0].artboardRect;
var paths = app.activeDocument.pathItems;
var circle1 = paths.ellipse(d[3]/2+250, d[2]/2-250, 500, 500);
var polygon1 = paths.polygon(d[2]/2, d[3]/2, 250, 300);
var points1 = polygon1.pathPoints;
for (var i = 0; i < points1.length/2; i++) {
    var line1 = paths.add();
    var points2 = [points1[i].anchor, points1[i+150].anchor];
    line1.setEntirePath(points2);
}
polygon1.remove();

Great, thanks! I tried the script and it works perfect. Can you explain to me how I can change the pieces from 300 to another number?

var n = prompt("Enter even number ≥ 4", 4, "Number of circular sectors");
var d = app.activeDocument.artboards[0].artboardRect;
var paths = app.activeDocument.pathItems;
var circle1 = paths.ellipse(d[3]/2+250, d[2]/2-250, 500, 500);
var polygon1 = paths.polygon(d[2]/2, d[3]/2, 250, n);
var points1 = polygon1.pathPoints;
for (var i = 0; i < points1.length/2; i++) {
    var line1 = paths.add();
    var points2 = [points1[i].anchor, points1[i+n/2].anchor];
    line1.setEntirePath(points2);
}
polygon1.remove();
