If you mean the "general equation of a cone" to be the elliptical cone equation:

z = √( (x/a)2 + (y/b)2 )

... then the function in C to compute this given the proper variables is:

double genEqCone(const double x, const double y, const double a, const double b) {

const double X_A = (x/a);

const double Y_B = (y/b);

return sqrt((X_A * X_A) + (Y_B * Y_B));

How do you prove that a cone will fit into a cylinder exactlly 3 times?

If you look at the formulas for volume of a cone and volume of a cylinder you can see that a cone will fit in exactly three times if the height and radius of the cone and cylinder are equivalent. A cone has the equation: (1/3)*pi*(r^2)*h=Volume. And a cylinder has the equation: pi*(r^2)*h=Volume. With h equaling height and r equaling radius, you can see that 3*(Volume of a cone)=Volume of a cylinder. Therefore, the cone would fit in three times if height and radius are equivalent for the two figures.

How can I create a decorative centerpiece using a large wood cone?

To create a decorative centerpiece using a large wood cone, you can paint or decorate the cone with colors, patterns, or embellishments of your choice. You can also attach flowers, greenery, or other decorative elements to the cone using glue or wire. Place the cone in a vase or container and add additional decorations around it to complete the centerpiece.


How do you find the volume of a cylinder that is smaller on one end?

To find the answer to this question you would have to know how to find the volume of a cone. First, find the angle of the side to the base to determine at what height a cone would be formed if the sides of the cylinder extended all the way up to a single point. This would be the height of the cone. Take this number and put into the equation Assuming you know the radius of the cylinder at the bottom, the wider side. Next, subtract the total height of the cone from the height of the cylinder you want to know the volume of. You will now be finding the volume of the smaller cone within the larger cone. Put the smaller height into the above equation now using the radius of the top part of cylinder. Subtract this total from the total volume of the biggest cone and you will have the volume of a cylinder that is smaller on one end.
