Lesson Summary:

In this lesson, you will learn how to find the surface area and volume of a cone using two formulas. The total surface area formula is pi times radius times length plus pi times radius squared. The volume formula is one third pi times radius squared times height. By plugging in the given values of height, radius, and length, you can calculate the surface area and volume of a cone.

Lesson Description:

Finding the volume and surface area of a cone

I show how to solve math problems online during live instruction in class. This is my way of providing free tutoring for the students in my class and for students anywhere in the world. Every video is a short clip that shows exactly how to solve math problems step by step. The problems are done in real time and in front of a regular classroom. These videos are intended to help you learn how to solve math problems, review how to solve a math problems, study for a test, or finish your homework. I post all of my videos on YouTube, but if you are looking for other ways to interact with me and my videos you can follow me on the following pages through My Blog, Twitter, or Facebook.
