Its assumed that it extends into three dimensions as well. A fireball exploads in a 30' radius, it is assumed it is formaing a sphere centered on where you pointed. A line would be as tall as is wide, with the central axis being at chest height. Basically, when it gives you "x feet wide", it applies to height as well. Just like a cone area effect is actually a cone, not just a triangle.
