Hey, can you try to show what you have tried to do? Maybe show a picture or some calculations? That way we can help you. :)

You could start by drawing a picture. Then think what you can deduce from the picture. What have you tried so far?

@Daniel Park, I am giving you a hint. Try to solve these equations
$$
a^2+b^2=c^2\
r = frac12sqrta + b - c\
$$
where a, b are bases/legs/catheti,
c is the hypotenuse,
and r is the radius.
