A cone is a three-dimensional geometric shape that narrows
smoothly from a flat and typically circular base to a point,
called the apex (vertex). A cone is a type of pyramidal shape.
In ordinary usage in elementary geometry, cones are assumed to
be right circular, where "right" means that the axis passes
through the center of the base at right angles to its plane, and
"circular" means that the base is a circle. These volume
calculations are provided for a circular cone with radius R and
height H. It represents what is most commonly referred to as a
"cone". Method #1 - Cone Volume Calculator Method #2 – Volume of
a Cone Formula The volume of a cone can be calculated by using
the formula: In this formula, r represents the radius of the
circle at base of the cone, h represents the distance from the
base of the cone to its tip (height), π represents pi
(approximately 3.14), and 1/3 represents one-third (or .3333
repeating).
