How do you calculate the volume of a cone with a radius of 5 cm and a height of 10 cm?

Back

V = (1/3)π(5)²(10) = (1/3)π(25)(10) = (250/3)π cm³ ≈ 261.8 cm³

What is the volume of a cone with a radius of 2 in and a height of 6 in?

Back

V = (1/3)π(2)²(6) = (1/3)π(4)(6) = 8π in³ ≈ 25.1 in³

If the radius of a cone is doubled, how does that affect the volume?

Back

The volume increases by a factor of 4, since volume is proportional to the square of the radius.

What is the relationship between the height and volume of a cone?

Back

The volume of a cone is directly proportional to its height; if height increases, volume increases.
