This video tutorial explains how to calculate the volume of a cone by comparing it to a cylinder. It begins with an example of a cone with specific dimensions and introduces the formula for the volume of a cylinder. The tutorial then demonstrates how a cone's volume is one-third of a cylinder's volume with the same base and height. An example calculation is provided, emphasizing the importance of including the 1/3 factor in the formula. The video concludes with a reminder to avoid common mistakes and highlights the importance of understanding the relationship between cones and cylinders.
