Length of Conical Head Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Length of Conical Head = (Outside Diameter at Larger End of Cone/2)*(tan(Apex Angle))
L = (D_l/2)*(tan(A))
This formula uses 1 Functions, 3 Variables

Functions Used

tan - The tangent of an angle is a trigonometric ratio of the length of the side opposite an angle to the length of the side adjacent to an angle in a right triangle., tan(Angle)

Variables Used

Length of Conical Head - (Measured in Meter) - The Length of Conical Head is defined as the measurement or extent of conical head from end to end; the greater of two or the greatest of three dimensions of an object.
Outside Diameter at Larger End of Cone - (Measured in Meter) - Outside Diameter at Larger End of Cone is the distance from one outside edge of the cone to the opposite outside edge.
Apex Angle - (Measured in Radian) - Apex angle is the angle between the lines that define the apex which is pointed tip of a cone.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Outside Diameter at Larger End of Cone: 2500 Millimeter --> 2.5 Meter (Check conversion here)
Apex Angle: 45 Degree --> 0.785398163397301 Radian (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

L = (D_l/2)*(tan(A)) --> (2.5/2)*(tan(0.785398163397301))

Evaluating ... ...

L = 1.24999999999963

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1.24999999999963 Meter -->1249.99999999963 Millimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

1249.99999999963 ≈ 1250 Millimeter <-- Length of Conical Head

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)
