A Rectangular Prism With Dimensions of 3 X 4 X 6 Cm. Is Inscribed in A Sphere, Find The Radius of The Sphere.?

A rectangular prism with dimensions of 3 x 4 x 6 cm is inscribed in a sphere. The radius of the sphere is calculated by using the Pythagorean theorem to find the hypotenuse of the rectangular prism, which is 5 cm. This length is equal to the diameter of the sphere. The radius is then calculated to be 3.9051 cm.
