The formula for the Volume of a Cone is the same as the formula for the volume of a cylinder with ONE more added step. What is the last step when calculating the Volume of a cone?

Question

C
CMultiply by 2.
D
DDivide by 2.

Answer 1

The volume of a cone can be found using the formula $V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^{2}h$, where $r$ is the radius of the base and $h$ is the height of the cone.

The volume of a cylinder is calculated using the formula $V=\pi r^{2}h$.

Therefore, the last step when calculating the volume of a cone, compared to a cylinder, is to divide by 3.

The correct answer is:

B. Divide by 3.
