Estimate volume using the formula for the solid selected in the form.
Estimate volume using the formula for the solid selected in the form.
| Input | What it means |
|---|---|
| Radius | Distance from the center to the circle’s edge; half the diameter. |
| Select | Choose the applicable option; it determines which relationship or conversion the page applies. |
| Base Radius | Distance from the center to the circle’s edge; half the diameter. |
| Height | Vertical body or object measurement. Select its actual unit before calculating. |
| Edge Length | The measured end-to-end distance of the section being calculated. |
A cone of radius 3 and height 4 has volume 12π ≈ 37.70 cubic units.
Use the result to put measurements on a common basis before comparing them or estimating quantities. The original measurement precision still limits the precision of the answer.
Carry the measured values and conversion factors through the calculation first. Round the final result to a precision justified by the original measurements.
Measurement conventions, nominal sizes, density assumptions and purchase rounding can change a practical quantity. Compare the units and assumptions before comparing the numbers.
