Cone Volume Calculator
Calculate the volume of a right circular cone using radius and height.
How Cone Volume Works
A cone consists of a circular base connected to a single point called the apex. Its volume is exactly one-third of a cylinder with the same base and height.
Standard Formula
V = (1/3)πr²hr is radius, h is height
Relationship with Cylinder
V = V_cylinder / 3A cone is 1/3 the volume of a cylinder
Examples
Radius 3m, Height 4m
1r = 3, h = 4
2V = (1/3)π(3²)(4)
3V = (1/3)π(9)(4)
4V = (1/3)π(36)
5V = 12π ≈ 37.7 m³
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the formula for cone volume?
The formula is V = (1/3)πr²h.
Is the height the vertical height?
Yes, h in the formula refers to the perpendicular height from the center of the base to the apex.
