Calculate the radius of the curved side of a triangle

circlesgeometrytriangles

In this image, only having these dimensions, is it possible to calculate the radius of the circle (of the arc of the line AB)?

Triangle with curved side

The centre of the circle is in the same X position as the line AC, but its Y position is unknown,

How can I do it? Sorry if it's a duplicate question, I could not find how to do this,

Best Answer

If $X$ is the centre of the circle, and $r$ is its radius, then by Pythagoras in triangle $BCX$, $BX^2=r^2=(r-3)^2+4^2$.

So you just have to solve the equation $$r^2=(r-3)^2+16$$
