in a detailed description can someone please explain how to find the volume of a cone?
thank you.
thank you.

geometry or calculus? Do you need a proof or just the formula? You can get both by googling, actually...but I'll be happ to help you out
geometry, i know what the the letters and numbers mean in the formula it's just their order and what you do with them confuses me.

i'm not trying to rush you but i thought i heard you say you could help. if you didn't that's fine, i can look somewhere else.
The volume of a cone is 1/3(Area of Base)(height) = 1/3 P r*r h
r-radius of the base (circle)
h-height of the cone
P- Pi ~3.1415
r-radius of the base (circle)
h-height of the cone
P- Pi ~3.1415
Sorry, I was doing something else. Lemme look it up in my geometry book, it has been a little while.
so 1/3 of pi x r x r x h is the height and and the base is 1/3 of the circles area and then multiply the results?
Just multiply pi, the squared radius(r x r), the height, and 1/3 together. You don't have to worry about the order, one of the nice things about multiplication. I thought you were asking for a proof, lol. I like calc proofs so much better than geometric. And the calc proof is so much simpler.
