Answer:


r=(√(3) )/(4) and
r=-(√(3) )/(4)

Explanation:

when you solve for r in the given equation, you need to apply the square root property, which gives positive and negative answers (both should therefore be considered):


r^2=(3)/(16) \\r=+/-\sqrt{(3)/(16)} \\r=+/-(√(3) )/(4)

then you need to include these two possible solutions:


r=(√(3) )/(4) and
r=-(√(3) )/(4)
