Right Circular Cone Volume Calculator
Find volume of a right circular cone. Example: Radius: 2 m, Perpendicular height: 2 m gives 8.37758040957 m³. Right circular cone; height is perpendicular to its circular base. Height is perpendicular; use inner dimensions for capacity. Flat Euclidean geometry; enter stated meter measurements. No material thickness, waste, structural recommendation or curved earth. Display rounding does not change
Right circular cone; height is perpendicular to its circular base. Height is perpendicular; use inner dimensions for capacity. Flat Euclidean geometry; enter stated meter measurements. No material thickness, waste, structural recommendation or curved earth. Display rounding does not change calculation. Derivation: Cone volume is one third of same-base same-height cylinder.
Accepted inputs: Radius: 0.001 to 1,000 m; Perpendicular height: 0.001 to 1,000 m.
How the calculation works
V = πr²h/3
Worked example
With radius 2 m, perpendicular height 2 m, volume of a right circular cone is 8.37758041 m³.
Assumptions and limits
Right circular cone; height is perpendicular to its circular base. Height is perpendicular; use inner dimensions for capacity. Flat Euclidean geometry; enter stated meter measurements. No material thickness, waste, structural recommendation or curved earth. Display rounding does not change calculation. Derivation: Cone volume is one third of same-base same-height cylinder.
