Compare and contrast the formulas for the volume of a pyramid and the volume of a cone.


Because a pyramid has a non-circular base, the volume is always described in square units, but the volume of a cone is stated in cubic units.

Because a pyramid has a non-circular base, the volume is always described in cubic units, but the volume of a cone is stated in square units.

Both formulas are 13Bh, but the base of a pyramid is always a square.

Both formulas are 13Bh, but the base of a cone is always a circle.
