Find the Height of a 90 Degree Notch in a Block of Metal

[steadenator]

I have this homework problem:

A block of metal has a 90 degree notch cut from its lower surface. The notched part rests on a circular cylinder of diameter 2.0cm. If the lower surface of the part is 1.3cm above the base plane, how deep is the notch?

I can't think of how to solve it. Any suggsestions would be much appreciated.
