Step-by-step

  1. V = (1/3)πr²h = (1/3) × 3.1416 × 4² × 9 = 150.7964.
  2. Slant height = √(r² + h²) = 9.8489.
  3. Lateral area = πr × slant = 123.7644.

How to use this calculator

  • Enter radius and height.
  • Read volume, slant height, surface area.

About this calculator

A cone is a cylinder with one end pinched to a point. Volume = (1/3) × base area × height = (1/3)πr²h — exactly one-third of the corresponding cylinder. Slant height = √(r² + h²) is the distance from apex to base edge. Lateral surface = πr × slant. Used in ice cream cones, party hats, traffic cones, and conical roofs.

Frequently asked

A pyramid (or cone) on the same base and height has 1/3 the volume of a prism (cylinder). Provable via calculus or Cavalieri's principle.
