Construct a 3 cones with a volume of 1000cm
--------
1000 cm is not volume.
1000 cubic cms is volume, = 1000 cc or 1000 ml (milliliters)
===================
For a cone:
Vol+=+pi%2Ar%5E2%2Ah%2F3
Notice that r cm*r cm*h cm = r^2h cm^3, cubic cms
Vol+=+pi%2Ar%5E2%2Ah%2F3+=+1000
pi%2Ar%5E2%2Ah+=+3000
r%5E2%2Ah+=+3000%2Fpi
h+=+3000%2F%28pi%2Ar%5E2%29
Pick a number for r and find h
r = 10 cm
h+=+3000%2F%28100pi%29+=+30%2Fpi cm
