Calibrating a conical tank 2011-02-05
From Bill:
Hi, I have a round tank with tapered sides where I know the diameter at the top and bottom. Is there a formula I can use to calculate the volume by measuring from the bottom up the side (at the angle of the side) to any given point? Thanks, Bill

Finding the vertical height of a roof 2007-03-05
From Zainab:
The question is: If the vertical height if a triangle is half the width of the base and the slant length is 6 metres, find the exact vertical height of this part of the roof. I'm actually confused about finding out the height of an equilateral triangle if you're only given the length or slant height. Please help! O.o

A cone that is cut off at the top 2002-09-23
From Stuart:
I have to work out the dimensions and arcs of a cone that is cut off at the top.

I.e Top diameter is 33mm to bottom diameter is 43mm and the depth is 80mm

Are you able to work what the flat of this cone would be as I need to design within the flat area and then have it cut out.

I really need to know what the flat of it is before it is cut and curled to form the above cone.
