Cone Volume Calculator

Calculate the volume of a cone from its radius and height.

Enter the radius of the base and the height of the cone. The volume is calculated using V = (1/3) × π × r² × h.

How to Calculate the Volume of a Cone

A cone is a three-dimensional shape with a circular base that tapers smoothly to a single point called the apex. The volume of a cone is exactly one third of the volume of a cylinder with the same base radius and height.

Formula

  • Volume: V = (1/3) × π × r² × h
  • r is the radius of the circular base
  • h is the perpendicular height of the cone

Example: For a cone with radius 3 and height 9, the volume is (1/3) × π × 3² × 9 = 27π ≈ 84.823 cubic units.
