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
