Circumference of pie = \(18 = 2πr\)
The length of the arc formed by the crust of one slice at its outer edge would be \((1/9)^{th}\) of the total circumference
Col. A: \(\frac{2πr}{9}\)
Col. B: \(1.5\)
Multiplying both sides by 9;
Col. A: \(2πr\)
Col. B: (1.5)(9)
Col. A: \(18\)
Col. B: \(13.5\)
Col. A > Col. B
Hence, option A
