If a cone is 8.5 cm high and has a vertical angle of 72 degrees, calculate the diameter of its base.
==========
If the included angle at the vertex is 72 degs, then it's 36 degs from the centerline (assuming it's a right cone).
===========
Each side to the centerline is 36 degs.
tan(36) = r/8.5 where r = base's radius.
d = 17*tan(36) cm
