I get 2 solutions (did not test them)  r=(3/8)∨r=((6−3(√2))/4)
$$\mathrm{I}\:\mathrm{get}\:\mathrm{2}\:\mathrm{solutions}\:\left(\mathrm{did}\:\mathrm{not}\:\mathrm{test}\:\mathrm{them}\right) \\ $$$${r}=\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{8}}\vee{r}=\frac{\mathrm{6}−\mathrm{3}\sqrt{\mathrm{2}}}{\mathrm{4}} \\ $$

I  get  8r^2 −24r+9=0  ⇒  r=(3/4)(2±(√2))  but r=(3/4)(2−(√2))  can only be selected.
$${I}\:\:{get}\:\:\mathrm{8}{r}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{24}{r}+\mathrm{9}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\:\:{r}=\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{4}}\left(\mathrm{2}\pm\sqrt{\mathrm{2}}\right) \\ $$$${but}\:{r}=\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{4}}\left(\mathrm{2}−\sqrt{\mathrm{2}}\right)\:\:{can}\:{only}\:{be}\:{selected}. \\ $$

I tested my solutions ⇒ r=(3/8) is wrong
$$\mathrm{I}\:\mathrm{tested}\:\mathrm{my}\:\mathrm{solutions}\:\Rightarrow\:{r}=\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{8}}\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{wrong} \\ $$
