Its height and the diameter of its base or equivalently - its radius. Where r is the radius of the base and h is the perpendicular height of the cone. To calculate its volume you need to multiply the base area area of a circle.
You can easily find out the volume of a cone if you have the measurements of its height and radius and put it into a formula.
The volume V of a cone with a height H and a base radius R is given by the formula V pR2H 3. Volume 13 p 15 2 5 11781 in 3 Bea also calculates the volume of the sugar cone and finds that the difference is 15 and decides to purchase a sugar cone. Despite the relative complexity of the body you only need two measurements to calculate a cones volume. Its height and the diameter of its base or equivalently - its radius.
