how to find the volume of a cone
The formula to find the volume of a cone is given by:
V = (1/3) * π * r^2 * h
Where:
V = volume
π = pi (approximately 3.14159)
r = radius of the base of the cone
h = height of the cone
1. Measure the radius (r) of the base of the cone. This is the distance from the center of the circle to the edge of the base.
2. Measure the height (h) of the cone. This is the distance from the apex (pointy end) of the cone to the base.
3. Plug the values of r and h into the formula V = (1/3) * π * r^2 * h and calculate the volume.
4. The result will be in cubic units, such as cubic inches or cubic centimeters, depending on the units used for the measurements of the radius and height.
