Volume of Cone Formula
This formula calculates the volume of a cone given the radius and height.
| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
| The volume of the cone. | |
| The circle constant (pi). | |
| The radius of the circular base of the cone. | |
| The height of the cone. |
To calculate the volume of a cone given the radius and the height , substitute the values in for the variables in the formula.
Evaluate the exponent expression and combine like terms. To approximate the volume, substitute the value of as .
The volume of the cone is equal to cube units or approximately cube units.
The area of a circle is given by one-half multiplied by τ (tau) multiplied by the radius of the circle squared.
The volume of a cylinder is given by 1/2 τ (tau) multiplied by the radius squared and height.
