Cone Volume Formula

The formula for volume of a cone is given as:

V = ¹⁄₃πhr²

Where h is the height and r is the radius.

Volume of a Cone Example Problem

A cone-shaped rock formation is measured to have a height of 4 meters and a radius of 2 meters. What is the volume of the rock formation in cubic meters?

Solution:

1. Let's plug the given dimensions into the volume formula.
2. V = ¹⁄₃πhr²
3. V = ¹⁄₃π(4)(2²) = ¹⁶⁄₃π
4. The rock formation's volume is ¹⁶⁄₃π cubic meters.
