Key measurements and cone formulae

Labelled cone showing base radius, vertical height, slant height, and the right triangle inside the cone

Spheres and cones are built from circles, so most formulae use the radius rrr. If a question gives the diameter ddd, convert first with r=d2r = \frac{d}{2}r=2d​.

Step-by-step lessons covering CIE IGCSE Maths Spheres and Cones for Core and Extended tier. Each lesson works through exam-style questions in Paper 1 and Paper 3 (Core) or Paper 2 and Paper 4 (Extended) format. Start with the Core-tier fundamentals in number and algebra before moving on to the more demanding Extended-only topics like calculus-adjacent algebra and advanced trigonometry.
