Volume and Dimensions of Cones

This video tutorial explains how to find the volume of a cone when given the slant height and diameter. It begins by identifying the radius and using the Pythagorean theorem to calculate the height of the cone. The tutorial then demonstrates how to use these measurements to compute the volume using the formula for the volume of a cone. The process is broken down into clear steps, making it easy to follow and understand.
