How to Calculate Volume of Cone

Calculate the volume of a cone from radius and height.

The Formula

V = ⅓πr²h

The volume of cone formula uses the mathematical relationship: V = ⅓πr²h. Each variable in the formula represents a measurable quantity that affects the final result.

Step-by-Step Method

  1. 1Identify all input values needed for the volume of cone calculation.
  2. 2Substitute your known values into the formula: V = ⅓πr²h.
  3. 3Perform the arithmetic operations in the correct order (PEMDAS/BODMAS).
  4. 4Check that your result has the correct units and is within a reasonable range.
  5. 5Verify using the interactive Volume of Cone Calculator to confirm your answer.
