    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.
