r1 = 6cm 

r2 = 8cm 

r3 = 10cm 

Volume of sphere = \(\frac{4}{3}\pi\,r^3\)

Volume of the resulting sphere = Sum of the volumes of the smaller spheres.

\(\frac{4}{3}\pi\,r^3\) = \(\frac{4}{3}\pi\,(r_1)^3\) + \(\frac{4}{3}\pi\,(r_2)^3\) + \(\frac{4}{3}\pi\,(r_3)^3\)

\(\frac{4}{3}\pi\,r^3\) = \(\frac{4}{3}\pi((r_1)^3+(r_2)^3+(r_3)^3)\)

r3 = 63 + 83 + 103 

r3 = 1728 

r = \(\sqrt[3]{1728}\) 

r = 12 cm 

Therefore, the radius of the resulting sphere is 12 cm.
