A Cone is a Rotated TriangleA cone is made by rotating a triangle! The triangle has to be a right-angled triangle, and it gets rotated around one of its two short sides. The side it rotates around is the axis of the cone. |
Volume of a Cone vs Cylinder
The volume formulas for cones and cylinders are very similar:The volume of a cylinder is: | π × r2 × h |
The volume of a cone is: | π × r2 × (h/3) |
So, the only difference is that a cone's volume is one third (
So, in future, order your ice creams in cylinders, not cones, you get 3 times more!
