How to Calculate Volume of a Cone

Calculating the volume of a cone is straightforward when you understand the formula and have the correct measurements.

Volume Formula

V = (1/3) × π × r² × h

Parameter Explanation

Radius (r)

  • • Distance from center to edge of base
  • • Must be positive number
  • • Units: cm, m, mm, in, ft

Height (h)

  • • Perpendicular distance from base to apex
  • • Must be positive number
  • • Units: cm, m, mm, in, ft

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between radius and diameter?

The radius is half the diameter. If you have the diameter, divide it by 2 to get the radius before using this calculator.

Can I use this calculator for oblique cones?

This calculator is designed for right circular cones. For oblique cones, the calculation becomes more complex and may require different formulas.

What units should I use?

You can use any consistent unit system (metric or imperial). Just make sure both radius and height are in the same units.

Tips & Notes

  • • Always use the same units for radius and height
  • • Measure radius from center to edge of base
  • • Height is the perpendicular distance from base to apex
  • • Cone volume is one-third of cylinder volume with same base and height
