To find side $ r $ use Pythagorean Theorem:

$$ r^2 + h^2 = l^2 $$

After substituting $h = 144\, \text{cm}$ and $l = 148\, \text{cm}$ we have:

$$ r ^ {\,2} + \left( 144\, \text{cm} \right)^{2} = \left( 148\, \text{cm} \right)^{2} $$ $$ r ^ {\,2} = \left( 148\, \text{cm} \right)^{2} - \left( 144\, \text{cm} \right)^{2} $$ $$ r ^ {\,2} = 21904\, \text{cm}^2 - 20736\, \text{cm}^2 $$ $$ r ^ {\,2} = 1168\, \text{cm}^2 $$ $$ r = \sqrt{ 1168\, \text{cm}^2 } $$$$ r = 4 \sqrt{ 73 }\, \text{cm} $$
