Cone height calculator

Height in geometry - a segment of a perpendicular dropped from the top of a geometric figure to its base or to the continuation of the base. By height is also meant the length of this segment.

Cone — is a body in Euclidean space obtained by combining all the rays emanating from one point (vertex of the cone) and passing through a flat surface. Sometimes a cone is a part of such a body that has a limited volume and is obtained by combining all the segments connecting the vertex and the points of a flat surface (in this case latter is called the base of the cone, and the cone is called leaning on this base). If the base of the cone is a polygon, such a cone is a pyramid.

To find the height of the cone, we need to connect the center of the circle with the apothem, which will create a right triangle, and further by the Pythagorean theorem we get the formula above, where h (height) and r (radius) are legs and l (apothem) is hypotenuse.
