c=\sqrt{8hR-4h^{2}}
Use the distributive property to multiply 4h by 2R-h.
\sqrt{8hR-4h^{2}}=c
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
8hR-4h^{2}=c^{2}
Square both sides of the equation.
8hR-4h^{2}-\left(-4h^{2}\right)=c^{2}-\left(-4h^{2}\right)
Subtract -4h^{2} from both sides of the equation.
8hR=c^{2}-\left(-4h^{2}\right)
Subtracting -4h^{2} from itself leaves 0.
8hR=c^{2}+4h^{2}
Subtract -4h^{2} from c^{2}.
\frac{8hR}{8h}=\frac{c^{2}+4h^{2}}{8h}
Divide both sides by 8h.
R=\frac{c^{2}+4h^{2}}{8h}
Dividing by 8h undoes the multiplication by 8h.
R=\frac{c^{2}}{8h}+\frac{h}{2}
Divide c^{2}+4h^{2} by 8h.
