Answer

Radius is about 4.63 mm

Work Step by Step

Formula for the volume of sphere [$V=\frac{4}{3}\pi{r}^{3}$] one larger sphere = (sphere of radius 2) +(sphere of radius 3) +(sphere of radius 4) $V= \frac{4}{3}\pi(2)^{3}+\frac{4}{3}\pi(3)^3+\frac{4}{3}\pi(4)^3$ $V =\frac{4}{3}\pi(2^3+3^3+4^3)$ $r^{3}=2^{3}+3^{3}+4^{3}$ $r^{3}=8+27+64$ $=99$ $r=\sqrt[3] 99$ Put it in the calculator r=4.6261
