Let A, B, C be points on circle O such that AB is a diameter, and CO is perpendicular to AB. Let P be a point on OA, and let line CP intersect the circle again at Q. If OP = 20 and PQ = 8, find r^2, where r is the radius of the circle.

8202+r2=(r20)(r+20)

64400+49r2=r4800r2+4002=0

r2=(849+1832012)2

r2=approx.638.5,r=approx.25.3
