What is a Square Cupola?
A cupola is a polyhedron with two opposite polygons, of which one has twice as many vertices as the other and with alternating triangles and quadrangles as side faces. When all faces of the cupola are regular, then the cupola itself is regular and is a Johnson solid. There are three regular cupolae, the triangular, the square, and the pentagonal cupola. A Square Cupola has 10 faces, 20 edges, and 12 vertices. Its top surface is a square and the base surface is a regular octagon.
How to Calculate Height of Square Cupola?
Height of Square Cupola calculator uses Height of Square Cupola = Edge Length of Square Cupola*sqrt(1-(1/4*cosec(pi/4)^(2))) to calculate the Height of Square Cupola, The Height of Square Cupola formula is defined as the vertical distance from the square face to the opposite octagonal face of the Square Cupola. Height of Square Cupola is denoted by h symbol.
