The volume of cone is calculated using this formula:


\begin{gathered} V=(1)/(3)\pi r^2h \\ r\colon\text{radius} \\ h\colon\text{height} \\ \pi\colon\text{ a constant with a value of }(22)/(7) \end{gathered}

So, to obtain the volume of a cone, the radius and the height must be known.

We then multiply the value of the constant pi by the square of the radius and the height, and then divide the final result by 3.

The unit is cubic unit.
