Understanding the Volume of a Cone

The video tutorial explains how to find the volume of a cone using the formula 1/3 πr²h. It compares the volume of a cone to that of a cylinder with the same height and radius, noting that it takes three cones to fill a cylinder. The tutorial provides a step-by-step guide to applying the formula, using a cone with a radius of 6 and a height of 10 as an example. The calculation is simplified to find the volume, resulting in 120π cubic units.

What is the relationship between the volume of a cone and a cylinder with the same height and radius?

• A cone has twice the volume of a cylinder.

• A cone has the same volume as a cylinder.

• A cone has one-third the volume of a cylinder.

• A cone has half the volume of a cylinder.
