I want to
find the "radius" in which "time" is 2 and p"erhexagon" is 2.1667. There might be more than one radius that matches this criteria.
Any suggestion?

Still unable to resolve it, please attach the table.

Learn to attach data as .mat file as shown by Andrei below, attaching a screenshot is useless!

Assuming your table is named "T",
% find the rows where time equals 2 and perhexagon equals exactly 2.1667
rowidx = T.time == 2 & T.perhexagon == 2.1667;
% use the row index to get the chosen radii
chosenRads = T.radius(rowidx);
Note that if you have trouble matching the floating point decimals, you may have to build in a tolerance instead of requiring an exact match. Example below.
% Define tolerance
tol = 0.001; %accepted if perhexagon value is +/-tol from target
% find the rows where time equals 2 and perhexagon equals exactly 2.1667
rowidx = T.time == 2 & abs(T.perhexagon - 2.1667)<tol;

This is where my "note" comes in at the end of my answer. Your "perhexagon" values aren't really 2.1667. Those are just the first 4 decimal places. So you need to build in a tolerance. For example, accept any rows where perhexagon is within 0.0001 within the target value. I'll update my answer.

load data.mat
lo = ismembertol(T{:,{'time','perhexagon'}},[2,2.1667],'ByRows',true,...
'DataScale',[1 .00001]);
out_radius = T.radius(lo);

You do not know how to download, sorry.
Exsample my laptop with Ubuntu (I from Russia :) ):
>> load '/home/andrei/Загрузки/data.mat'
>> lo = ismembertol(T{:,{'time','perhexagon'}},...
[2,2.1667],'ByRows',true,'DataScale',[1 .00001]);
out_radius = T.radius(lo)
out_radius =
1
2
