Pyramid 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.

Pyramid — is a polyhedron, one of whose faces (called the base) is an arbitrary polygon, and the remaining faces (called side faces) are triangles that have a common vertex. According to the number of base angles, triangular (tetrahedron), quadrangular pyramids are distinguished, etc. A pyramid is a specific case of a cone.

If the base of the pyramid is a regular polygon, then it is possible to calculate the height of the pyramid both through the edge and by the apothem, since having connected the height with the edge or apothem, we obtain a right triangle.
