Spherical Cap Calculator
Result
Spherical Cap Calculator — free online calculator.
Formula
- Spherical Cap Calculator calculates its result from Sphere Radius, Cap Height (h). It uses the formula V = (πh²/3)(3R−h); Base r = √(2Rh−h²); Curved SA = 2πRh; Base area = πr². Change any input to recalculate the result instantly.
- The main inputs are Sphere Radius, Cap Height. Enter them in the units and format shown in the calculator.
- Keep comparable quantities in compatible units whenever the formula combines or compares them.
- Changing any input above recalculates the result with the same calculation engine used by this page.
Example: Spherical Cap
- Sphere Radius: 10
- Cap Height: 3
Sphere radius 10 cm, cap height 3 cm: volume = 81π ≈ 254.469 cm³; curved area = 60π ≈ 188.496 cm²; base radius = √51 cm.
