Description

This image illustrates a cone, a three-dimensional geometric shape with a circular base that tapers smoothly to a point called the apex. Cones are commonly seen in everyday objects such as ice cream cones and traffic cones.

Understanding the properties of cones, such as their volume and surface area, is essential in geometry. The volume of a cone is calculated using the formula V = 1/3 πr2h, where r is the radius of the base and h is the height. The surface area includes the base area and the lateral surface area, which can be calculated using the formula A = πr(r + l), where l is the slant height.
