Intuition tells me this has a very expected symmetry to use. The distance between any two opposite corners of the cube must be a diameter of the sphere.\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "That distance is found with the Pythagorean Theorem in THREE DIMENSIONS. If assign s = length of edge of the cube,

\n" ); document.write( "\"s%5E2=4%2A16\"

\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28s=8%29\", the edge length of the cube.\r
