There are two formulas that are used to calculate the volume of a frustum of a cone. Consider a frustum of radii 'R' and 'r', and height 'H' which is formed by a cone of base radius 'R' and height 'H + h'. Its volume (V) can be calculated by using: V = πh/3 [ (R3 - r3) / r ] (OR)
What is the the formula for volume?
Whereas the basic formula for the area of a rectangular shape is length × width, the basic formula for volume is length × width × height.
What is the volume of this shape?
Volume is the amount of space a 3D shape takes up.
You can work out the volume of a shape by multiplying height × width × depth. If the shape is made of cubic cm blocks, you can count the cubes to find the shape's volume.
