Volume of Cone Formula
The volume of a cone is given by one-third multiplied by the area of its base multiplied by its height. The area of the base is given by the formula for the area of a circle.
| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
| The volume of the cone. | |
| The circle constant (tau) = 6.283185307 | |
| The variable represents the radius of the base circle. | |
| The height of the cone. |
The volume of a cone is given by one-third the area of its base multiplied by its height. In the case of the cone, the base is equal to the area of a circle.
