What is Volume?
The volume of a cone is the amount of space it occupies in three-dimensional space. It's measured in cubic units such as cubic meters, cubic centimeters, cubic inches, or cubic feet.
Formula
Volume Formula
Cone
V = (1/3) × π × r² × h
where r is the radius of the base and h is the height
Steps
How to Calculate Volume
-
1Measure the radius of the cone's base
-
2Square the radius (multiply it by itself)
-
3Multiply by π (approximately 3.14159)
-
4Multiply by the height of the cone
-
5Multiply by 1/3
-
6The result is the volume of the cone

Practical Examples
Example
A cone has a radius of 3 units and a height of 4 units.
V = (1/3) × π × r² × h
V = (1/3) × π × 3² × 4
V = (1/3) × π × 9 × 4
V ≈ 37.70 cubic units
