A cone has a circular base and a vertex that is not on the base. Cones are similar in some ways to pyramids. They both have just one base and they converge to a point, the vertex.
The formula for the volume of a cone is:
Since the base area is a circle, again we can substitute the area formula for a circle into the volume formula, in place of the base area. The final formula for the volume of a cone is:
