Cone Volume Calculator
Calculate cone volume from base radius and perpendicular height.
How to use
- Enter base radius r.
- Enter perpendicular height h and calculate.
Capabilities and scope
For the same base and height, a cone has one third of the corresponding cylinder volume.
How it works
It uses V = πr²h/3.
Example
r=3 and h=4 give 12π, about 37.6991.
Useful for
- Find geometric volume of a cone-shaped container
- Compare cone and cylinder volumes
Before you use it
- Height is perpendicular from apex to base, not the slant height.
Frequently asked questions
Is it exactly one third of a cylinder?
Yes, for a cone and cylinder with the same base area and height.
