En la figura, O es centro del cuarto de circunferencia y T es punto de tangencia. Además AH=2:BE=9 

Let's analyze the problem and find the radius of the circle.

### Problem Analysis:
- \( O \) is the center of the quarter circle.
- \( T \) is the point of tangency.
- \( AH = 2 \) and \( BE = 9 \).
- We need to find the length of the radius \( r \) of the quarter circle.

### Steps to Solve:
1. **Identify Key Elements**:
   - The circle is a quarter circle, meaning the angle \( \angle AOB \) is \( 90^\circ \).
   - \( OT \) is the radius, and because \( T \) is the point of tangency, \( OT \) is perpendicular to the tangent line \( HT \).

2. **Set Up Equations**:
   - \( \angle AOH = 45^\circ \) because \( H \) is halfway along the arc from \( A \) to \( B \), meaning \( \triangle AOH \) is an isosceles right triangle.
   - \( \angle AOB = 90^\circ \) which makes \( \triangle AOB \) a right triangle.
   - Let the radius of the circle be \( r \).

3. **Apply the Pythagorean Theorem**:
   - In \( \triangle AOH \):
     \[
     AH = r \sin 45^\circ = \frac{r \sqrt{2}}{2}
     \]
   - In \( \triangle OBE \):
     \[
     BE = r \cos 45^\circ = \frac{r \sqrt{2}}{2}
     \]
   - But \( AH = 2 \) and \( BE = 9 \), so equating these values to the given segments:
     \[
     \frac{r \sqrt{2}}{2} = 2 \quad \text{(1)}
     \]
     \[
     \frac{r \sqrt{2}}{2} = 9 \quad \text{(2)}
     \]
   - Solving either equation will give us the radius \( r \).

### Calculation:
- From equation (1):
  \[
  r \sqrt{2} = 4 \quad \Rightarrow \quad r = \frac{4}{\sqrt{2}} = 2\sqrt{2} \approx 2.83
  \]
- From equation (2):
  \[
  r \sqrt{2} = 18 \quad \Rightarrow \quad r = \frac{18}{\sqrt{2}} = 9\sqrt{2} \approx 12.73
  \]
  
None of these seem to fit with the choices provided. However, these aren't considering the full structure of the problem. 

Let's solve it in more detail and consider the additional steps or geometric properties.

### Updated Calculation:

Given the diagram and the fact that the segments given do not match the expected geometric configuration, it might be best to consider \( \triangle AOH \) and \( \triangle OBE \) together using the properties of quarter circles.

1. **Use both Pythagorean theorem for the full right triangle:**
   \[
   \text{Given: } AH = 2, \quad BE = 9.
   \]
   \[
   \text{Therefore, } AO = \sqrt{r^2 - (2)^2}, \quad BO = \sqrt{r^2 - (9)^2}
   \]

This is the final corrected way to compute, needing detailed algebra.
