Three Orthogonal Chords (Posted on 2019-05-10) Difficulty: 4 of 5
Line segments AB, CD, and EF are all chords of a sphere. AB, CD, and EF all mutually orthogonal to each other and all intersect at point G.

Given that AG=1, CG=2, EF=3, FG=4; what is the radius of the sphere?

Question Error in the problem? | Comment 1 of 2
I partially solved this then came back here to check something when I noticed EF=3, FG=4 doesn't make sense.  G must be between E and F, so EF>FG.  

I had assumed EG=3 and I'm thinking that's what you meant.  My approximate solution is about 24.6
