Cone Volume Formula
-
The volume (V) of a cone is calculated using the formula: V = (1/3)πr²h
-
Where:
- V represents the volume of the cone
- π (pi) is a mathematical constant approximately equal to 3.14159
- r represents the radius of the base of the cone
- h represents the height of the cone, measured from the base to the apex.
-
The formula indicates that the volume of a cone is directly proportional to both the square of the radius and the height. A larger radius or height results in a larger volume.
-
This formula is fundamental in calculating the space occupied by a cone-shaped object and is widely used in geometry, engineering, and other fields.
