Please Help!!! I'm unsure how to work this problem out. I'm given the answer Radius=5.67cm but I am having trouble working the problem out to get this answer.

\n" ); document.write( "***
\n" ); document.write( "let r=radius
\n" ); document.write( "construct a line extending BD to the center
\n" ); document.write( "Connect the ends of AC to the center
\n" ); document.write( "You now have a right triangle with legs of (r-3) and 5 and hypotenuse=r
\n" ); document.write( "5^2+(r-3)^2=r^2
\n" ); document.write( "25+r^2-6r+9=r^2
\n" ); document.write( "6r=34
\n" ); document.write( "r=5.67 cm
