Arc radius

Two arcs are drawn in a right-angled triangle as shown. What is the length $r$?

Problem



Triangle ABC is right-angled at A and side AB is 6 cm long.

An arc of radius $r$ cm is drawn with centre C such that it bisects side AC.

An arc of radius 6 cm is drawn with centre B such that the arcs both meet BC at the same point, as shown below.
