volume of a cone with prompt for area and height in python

To calculate the volume of a cone in Python, you can use the formula V = (1/3) * π * r^2 * h, where r is the radius of the base and h is the height of the cone.

Here's an example of how you can write a Python program that prompts the user to enter the values for the area (radius) and height of the cone, and then calculates and displays the volume:

main.py
import math

# Prompt user for input
radius = float(input("Enter the radius of the cone's base: "))
height = float(input("Enter the height of the cone: "))

# Calculate volume
volume = (1/3) * math.pi * radius**2 * height

# Display the result
print(f"The volume of the cone is: {volume}")

In this example, the input() function is used to prompt the user for the values of the radius and height. The float() function is used to convert the user's input into floating-point numbers.

The math.pi constant is used to represent the value of π (approximately 3.14159), and math.pow() is used to calculate the square of the radius (radius**2).

The calculated volume is then displayed using the print() function, with an f-string to format the output.

Remember to include the line import math at the top of your program to access the mathematical functions provided by the Python math module.
