What’s on the Volume of Cones, Cylinders and Spheres poster
A 3-row table: Solid · Volume · Note.
All three use the radius. Two of them use the height as well.
- Cylinder — πr²h — circle area × height
- Cone — ⅓πr²h — exactly a third of the cylinder
- Sphere — ⁴⁄₃πr³ — no height — only the radius
A cone, a hemisphere and a cylinder of the same radius and height are in the ratio 1 : 2 : 3.
