Answer:

V= 1/3 pi*r^2*

Explanation:

The reason the volume of a cone involves using the fraction 1/3, is because it takes three cones to fill up a cylinder. So, if the volume of a cylinder is pi*r^2*h, and a cone is 1/3 the size, then the volume of a cone(which uses the same formula) has to have the 1/3rd in front.
