Cone Geometry: Volume, Slant Height & Surface Area

A cone tapers smoothly from a circular base to an apex point. Its volume is one third of a cylinder with identical base and height.

Key Formulas for Cone
Volume: V = \frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h
Surface Area: A = \pi r (r + \sqrt{h^2 + r^2})

Cone Geometric Relationships

A right circular cone consists of a planar circular base connected smoothly to an apex point. The vertical height h and radius r determine the slant height s = √(r² + h²) via the Pythagorean Theorem.

Volume = 1/3 × π × r² × h
