Math Example--Volume Concepts--Calculating Volume: Example 23 | Math Example--Volume Concepts--Calculating Volume: Example 23TopicVolume Description
A cone with a height of 12 and a radius of 4. The image shows how to calculate its volume using the cone volume formula (V = 1/3 * π * r2 * h). This image illustrates Example 23: Find the volume of a cone. The formula used is V = (1/3) * π * r2 * h, where r = 4 and h = 12. Substituting these values gives V = (1/3) * π * (42) * 12 = 64π. |
