Right circular cone/cylinder
CONCEPTS
Right Circular Cylinder
• V = π r² h (it varies if the equation is provided) (r = radius, h = height)
Right Circular Cone
• V = 1/3 π r² h (formula always given in the problem) (r = radius, h = height)
PRACTICE PROBLEMS
Question 1 What's the volume of a right circular cylinder with a radius of 2 and height of 4?
-- Answer -- 16 π
V = π * 2² * 4
Question 2 What's the volume of a right circular cone with a radius of 3 and height of 4
-- Answer -- 12 π
V = 1/3 * π * 3² * 4 = 12 π
