Volume of a Cone


r: the radius of the base
h: height

The volume of a cone is given by:
V = Π ∙ r2 ∙ h / 3

Π defines the ratio of any circle's circumference to its diameter and is approximately equal to 3.141593, however the value 3.14 is often used.

Example: determine the volume of a cone that is defined as below:
r = 3 m
h = 6 m

V = Π ∙ r2 ∙ h / 3 = 3.14 ∙ 32 ∙ 6 / 3 = 56.52 m3
