Description: You find the volume of a cone by multiplying the area of the base by the height of the cone, then dividing by 3. This video explains why and gives examples.

When you slice a cone with a plane at various angles, you get different shapes called conic sections. These include circles, ellipses, parabolas and hyperbolas. The study of these shapes has led to many advancements in mathematics and physics.

A set of points that has the same fixed distance from a point, called the center of the circle.

A three-dimensional figure with a circular base and a pointed curved surface

The topmost point or vertex of a cone or pyramid

The bottom face or side of a solid figure. Some figures have a single base, like pyramids or cones, while other figures have two bases, like prisms or cylinders.

Any line segment from the center of a circle to its circumference

Any line segment that passes through the center of a circle whose endpoints lie on the circumference

A measure of how much space a figure occupies and how much space it can hold
