Step-by-Step Process - Calculating Cone Volume via Cylinder Formula

The video tutorial explains how to calculate the volume of a cone by comparing it to a cylinder. It begins with a review of the cylinder volume formula, V = πR²H, and demonstrates that a cone's volume is one-third of a cylinder's volume with the same base and height. An example is provided using a cone with a height of 9 cm and a radius of 2 cm, resulting in a volume of 12π cubic centimeters. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of including the 1/3 factor in the formula to avoid common mistakes.
