Hi there!
[tex]\large\boxed{r\approx 10.6 cm}[/tex]
Solve for the radius using the pythagorean theorem:
a² + b² = c²
We know the lengths of the hypotenuse and one leg, so:
a = 12
b = ?
c = 16
Plug these into the equation:
12² + b² = 16²
Simplify:
144 + b² = 256
Subtract both sides by 144:
b² = 112
Take the square root:
b ≈ 10.6
Thus the radius is about 10.6 cm.
