how do you find the volume of a circular cone?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just multiply base times height times weight

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u can't do that with a cone be cuz it doesn't have a smooth surface to do it on....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

besides the bottom. And that would count for what I was saying.....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

guess maybe surface area

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya u need to calculate the surface area to find the volume...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

does that help vanessat

OpenStudy (anonymous):

kind of yeah , thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no problem anytime

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'll brake it down for you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya u need to calculate the surface area to find the volume...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks for medal I am your fan

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I forgot it's not just the surface calculations If you already know the radius, then you can move on to the next step. If you know the diameter, divide it by 2 to get the radius. If you know the circumference, divide it by 2π to get the diameter. And if you don't know any of the measurements of the shape, just use a ruler to measure the widest phe circular base (the diameter) and divide that number by 2 to get the radius. Let's say the radius of this cone's circular base is .5 inches.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh okaay i get it now.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm glad I could help :D
