# Volume of Cone Formula

## Formula

### Summary

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.

## Usage

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.
