Answer: 6 units

Step-by-step explanation:

90/360 = 1/4

We have 1/4 of a pizza here. This slice is equal to an area of 9pi square units. The full pizza is 4*9pi = 36pi square units.

Use the circle area formula to determine r.

A = pi*r^2

36pi = pi*r^2

36 = r^2

r = sqrt(36)

r = 6

The circle has radius 6 units.
