Title: I need to know how to find volume of a partial cone (solved)
Post by: mhillis on February 15, 2005, 03:13:11 PM

I need to find the volume of a partial cone. I use the 3d cone I need, but now I need to know how I can cut two side sections out of that 3d cone and then be able to determine the volume of the remaining cone. Can anyone help? Autocad 14.
