Key Formulas

Base Area: \( B_a = \pi r^2 \)
Lateral Area: \( L_a = \pi r s \)
Total Area: \( T_a = \pi r^2 + \pi r s \)
Volume: \( V = \frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h \)
Slant Height: \( s = \sqrt{r^2 + h^2} \)
Height: \( h = \sqrt{s^2 - r^2} \)
Radius: \( r = \sqrt{s^2 - h^2} \)

How to Use

  1. Select what you know from the dropdown menu
  2. Enter the two known values in the fields that appear
  3. Choose decimal places for results
  4. Click "Calculate Cone Properties"
  5. All six cone properties are displayed instantly!

Note: All dimensions must be positive. For slant height (s), ensure s > r and s > h.

10 Reliable Calculation Modes

r & h → s = √(r²+h²)
r & s → h = √(s²-r²)
h & s → r = √(s²-h²)
r & V → h = 3V/(πr²)
h & V → r = √(3V/(πh))
r & Lₐ → s = Lₐ/(πr)
s & Lₐ → r = Lₐ/(πs)
r & Tₐ → s = (Tₐ-πr²)/(πr)
s & Tₐ → Solve πr²+πsr-Tₐ=0
Lₐ & Tₐ → r = √((Tₐ-Lₐ)/π)
