How do you calculate the height of a spherical cap with just the base diameter and the radius of the sphere?

I am an individual volunteer contributor to WikiAnswers, and I am no expert on
anything. I'm telling you this because I just now worked out a method for doing
what you want done, and I don't know if it's right or wrong. I'll give it to you for
free with no guarantee, and in return, if it's wrong, please don't come back and
yell at me, and don't hold it against WikiAnswers either. (On the other hand, if it
does work, you could always come back and lay a Trust Point on me.)
Here's how I would do it:
-- Take the number (base diameter of the cap)/(radius of the sphere)
-- Find the arc-cosine of that number (the angle that has that number for its cosine).
-- Take the number (that angle)/(90)
-- Multiply it by the radius of the sphere.
-- That's the height of the cap above its base.
Good luck !

How do you calculate radius of the circle when you do not have diameter?
Double the Radius to Calculate the Diameter.
How do you calculate radius from pipe diameter?
diameter = 2 * radius
How do you calculate vessel height and diameter with knowing volume?
You wll also need to know its radius as well as its volume
How do you calculate the surface area of a spherical tank with a diameter of 96 inches?
You divide the diameter by 2, to get the radius. Then you use the formula for the surface area of a sphere. Surface area of a sphere = 4*pi*radius^2
If you know the volume of a cylinder how do you calculate dimensions?
To calculate the volume of a cylinder, first determine the height or length of the cylinder as well as the diameter. Divide the diameter by two to get the radius, then use this formula:Volume = radius2 x Pi x length (or height)
How do you calculate the surface area of a 20 liter drum?
You need to know the radius/diameter or the height of the drum.
How do you calculate radius of the circle when you do not have diameter?
Double the Radius to Calculate the Diameter.
How do you calculate radius from pipe diameter?
diameter = 2 * radius
What is the volume of a cylinder in cu ft?
If you have the radius and the height in feet, you can calculate the volume as:V = pi x radius squared x height (If you have the diameter of the cylinder, the radius is one-half the diameter.)
What is the radius of a circle given an arc and its height?
if you are given the circle's "height" then that is the diameter. the diameter is twice the length of the radius, so divide the height by two and you will get the radius.
How do you calculate the radius given the diameter?
Radius of a circle = diameter/2
What is used to measure spherical radius?
You can measure the diameter, then divide that by 2.

What is the volume of a spherical water tank whose radius is 19?
i need the height dude what is the height?
How do you calculate the radius of a circle?
The radius of a circle is half of its diameter.
