Question

I am very new to Python and still figuring out how to work with it. I am finding it diffcult to solve this problem in Python. Can someone show e to how to do this problem in Python by showing each step with explanation? I would really apprecite it.

Function: coneVolume Parameters:

None

Return:

None

Description:
Write a user-interactive function to calculate the volume of a cone

Get the length of the radius in feet from the user; make sure to use a descriptive prompt so the user knows what to enter.

Get the height in feet; again, make sure to use a descriptive prompt so the user knows what to enter.

Calculate the volume of a cone with the radius length and height entered by the user; note the volume of a cone is calculated using the formula below: Volume = (pi x Radius^2 x Height) / 3

Hint: You will want to import the math module to use pi

Print the calculated volume; be sure to add a label to the display value so the

user knows what the value means (e.g. display “Volume of a cone with a radius of 7 and a height of 12 is 615.75216 feet-cubed” instead of just 615.75216)

Explanation / Answer

calculate the volume of a cone:---

Volume of a Cone

The amount of space inside the Cone is called as Volume. If we know the radius and height of the Cone then we can calculate the Volume using the formula:

Volume = 1/3 r²h (where h= height of a Cone, r= radius).

CODE:

# Python Program to find Volume of a cone.

import math

radius = float(input('Please Enter the Radius of a Cone: '))

height = float(input('Please Enter the Height of a Cone: '))

# Calculate the Volume

Volume = (1.0/3) * math.pi * radius * radius * height

print(" The Volume of a Cone = %.2f feet-cubed" %Volume)

ANALYSIS

First, We imported the math library using the following statement. This will allow us to use the mathematical functions like math.pi and math.sqrt. If you fail to include this line then math.pi will through an error.

Below statements will ask the user to enter radius and height values and it will assign the user input values to respected variables. Such as first value will be assigned to radius and second value to height

Next, We are calculating Volume,

radius = float(input('Please Enter the Radius of a Cone: '))

height = float(input('Please Enter the Height of a Cone: '))

Following print statements will help us to print the Volume

OUTPUT:--

Please Enter the Radius of a Cone: 5

Please Enter the Height of a Cone: 12

The Volume of a Cone =314.16feet-cubed.

Explanation:--

We have entered the Radius of a Cone = 5 and Height = 12

The Volume of a Cone is

Volume of a Cone = 1/3 r²h

Volume of a Cone = (1.0/3) * math.pi * radius * radius * height

Volume of a Cone = (1.0/3) * 3.14 * 5 * 5 * 12;

Volume of a Cone = 314
