Calculating Cone Lateral Area, Surface Area, and Volume

This video tutorial teaches how to calculate the lateral area, surface area, and volume of a cone. It explains the formulas used, drawing parallels to pyramids, and provides a step-by-step example problem. The tutorial also highlights the relationship between a cone and a cylinder, showing how a cone's volume is one-third of a cylinder's volume with the same base and height. The video concludes with a summary and directs viewers to additional resources for further practice with related geometric shapes.
