Height of Cone given Slant Height Calculator

Calculate Height





Formula

The formula to calculate the Height of a Cone given its slant height and base radius is:

\[ \text{Height} = \sqrt{\text{Slant Height}^2 - \text{Base Radius}^2} \]

Definition

The Height of a Cone is the distance between the apex of the cone to the center of its circular base. The Slant Height of a Cone is the length of the line segment joining the apex of the cone to any point on the circumference of the circular base. The Base Radius of a Cone is the distance between the center and any point on the circumference of the base circular surface of the cone.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ \text{Height} = \sqrt{11^2 - 10^2} \approx 4.5826 \, \text{meters} \]

The Height is approximately 4.5826 meters.
