Answer

The volume, V, of a right circular cone with height h and radius r is given by the formula \[V=\frac{1}{3}\pi {{r}^{2}}h\]

Work Step by Step

The volume may be defined as the capacity or space that is being occupied by an item. The volume is expressed in terms of cubic units. The volume of a right circular cone is computed by multiplying the square of the radius with the height and finally multiplying the resultant with the value of pie. Now, multiply the final resultant figure by one-third to get the volume of aright circular cone. The volume of the right circular cone can be calculated using the equation as shown below: \[V=\frac{1}{3}\pi {{r}^{2}}h\] Where“V” stands for volume of the right circular cone,“r” stands for the radius and “h" stands for the height of the right circular cone.
