How do you find the radius? I completed the square for x, y, and z, but I
couldn't find the radius.

*************************************************
When you've completed the square you should have something like
(x-a)^2 + (y-b)^2 + (z-c)^2=S
for some numbers a,b,c and a number S≥0. The numbers (a,b,c) are the coordinates of the center of the sphere and S is the square of the radius, i.e. r=√S.
