Largest cube that can be inscribed within a right circular cone

Given a right circular cone of radius r and perpendicular height h. We have to find the side length of the biggest cube that can be inscribed within it.
Examples: 

Input : h = 5, r = 6
Output : 3.14613

Input : h = 8, r = 12
Output : 5.43698

Approach: 
Let, side of the cube = a.
From the diagram, we can clearly understand using the properties of triangles: BC/AB = DE/AD.
Therefore, 

r/h = (a/√2)/(h-a)

or, a = h*r√2/(h+√2*r)

Below is the implementation of the above approach: 

C++

// C++ Program to find the biggest cube
// inscribed within a right circular cone
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

// Function to find the side of the cube
float cubeSide(float h, float r)
{
    // height and radius cannot be negative
    if (h < 0 && r < 0)
        return -1;

    // side of the cube
    float a = (h * r * sqrt(2)) / (h + sqrt(2) * r);

    return a;
}

// Driver code
int main()
{
    float h = 5, r = 6;

    cout << cubeSide(h, r) << endl;

    return 0;
}

Java

// Java Program to find the biggest cube
// which can be inscribed within a right circular cone

import java.io.*;

class GFG {


// Function to find the side of the cube

static float cube(float h, float r)
{

    // height and radius cannot be negative
    if (h < 0 && r < 0)
        return -1;

 // side of the cube
    float a = (h * r * (float)Math.sqrt(2)) / (h + (float)Math.sqrt(2) * r);

    return a;
}

// Driver code

    public static void main (String[] args) {
          float h = 5, r = 6;
    System.out.println( cube(h, r));
    }
}

         (h + math.sqrt(2) * r))

    return a
