Volume of the Truncated Cone
The term itself «cone» originated from the ancient Greek word κώνος which translates to «cone». Thus, a cone – is a geometric body obtained by joining all its rays emanating from one point, i.e., the vertex of the cone, that pass through a flat surface. A truncated cone is called a part of this figure lying between the plane and the base, which is parallel to the base and is located between it and the vertex.
Simply put, a truncated cone can be obtained if a section is made in a cone that is parallel to the base. The body limited by this section will be the truncated cone. To make it clearer, look at the drawing.
Our online calculator will help you calculate the volume of a truncated cone in just a few seconds and all that is required from you is to enter a few values. Our calculator calculates the volume according to the following formula:
V= 1\3 π h(r12+r1•r2+r22)
Where r1 – is the radius of the lower base of the truncated cone, and r2 – is the radius of the upper base of the truncated cone, whereas h – is the height of the cone.
