Assume that the height of the segment is h, the chord length is c and the radius is r then:

r2=(r-h)2+(c/2)2

(We join two radii to the two ends of the chord then extend the height of the segment to the center of the circle in which the segment is inscribed so this height will bisect the chord and you use the pythagorean theorem to find the radius)

What is the formula for the height of a cone?

The height of a cone can be expressed in relation to its volume and base area. The formula for the volume ( V ) of a cone is given by ( V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h ), where ( r ) is the radius of the base and ( h ) is the height. To find the height, you can rearrange this formula to ( h = \frac{3V}{\pi r^2} ). Thus, knowing the volume and the base radius allows you to calculate the height of the cone.
