You can put this solution on YOUR website! A straw that is 16 centimeters long fits inside a glass. The height of the glass is 14 centimeters. Find the radius of the glass.
--------------
If the radius is more than 16 cms, it obviously fits.

Not a well stated problem.
If you want the minimum radius, it's a right triangle problem, but only if the straw is a line.
If a diameter of the straw is given, it's a difficult but realistic problem.
