How to use this calculator

  1. Enter the known values in the units shown. Results update as you type.
  2. Where results are editable, change one to solve backwards. Lock a value to hold it fixed.
  3. Use the worked example to check the method. Reset restores the starting fields.

Formula and method

For the worked example, Segment MC = 3, Slanted height (MO) = 5.

Base apothem=s/(2 tan(π/n)); circumradius=s/(2 sin(π/n))

Worked example

Enter these known values and leave the other values blank.

Assumptions and limitations

  • The apex lies above the center of a regular n-gon. Side and height are positive.
  • Custom n is an integer of at least three. Face slope uses the apothem; edge slope uses the circumradius.

Common questions

How do I use this relation?

Choose the relevant mode and enter independent known quantities. Leave a missing value empty where the control permits an inverse.

What do the displayed numbers mean?

The result follows the stated mathematical model. All dimensions must use consistent units; available unit selectors handle conversions.
