John had the ball that rolled into the pool and swam in the water. Its highest point was 2 cm above the surface. The diameter of the circle that marked the water level on the ball's surface was 8 cm. Find the diameter of John's ball.

Correct answer:

D =  10 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

r2=(8/2)2+(r2)2 r2=16+r24r+4 0=204r r=20/4=5 cm D=2 r=2 5=10 cm
