Is a tent a pyramid or a cone?
There are various types of tents, but in general they are likely to be pyramids rather than cones.
Formula of the frustum of a cone?
A frustum may be formed from a right circular cone by cutting off the tip of the cone with a cut perpendicular to the height, forming a lower base and an upper base that are circular and parallel. The problem can be generalized to other cones and n-sided pyramids but for the moment consider the right circular cone.
How are cones and pyramids alike and how are they different?
Both cones and pyramids have one base and they all have a vertex, or they all come to a point. That is what makes them alike. What make them different is that a cone has one curved edge at its base, and a pyramid has 6 to 8 edges which is not curved
What is the difference between a square pyramid and a cone?
Main difference is that square pyramids have square bases, cones have circular bases. For this reason, they're calculated differently.
What gives the renal pyramids their striped appearance?
Renal pyramids (or malpighian pyramids) are cone-shaped tissues of the kidney. The renal medulla is made up of 7 to 18 of these conical subdivisions (usually 7 in humans). The broad base of each pyramid faces the renal cortex, and its apex, or papilla, points internally. The pyramids appear striped because they are formed by straight parallel segments of nephrons.
How are pyramids and cones alike and differant?
Pyramids and cones are both kind of similar but also very different. You can say that the cone has no vertex (something that may be confusing because of what a book says) but a cone really does not have any vertex because there are no line segments or faces that are only faces (the circle is both a base and a face) You can say they are similar because they both have only one base Hope this helped - Harry
Why was the pyramid of Giza built in a cone shape?
You are mistaken; a pyramid is not a cone. Pyramids have flat sides, cones have a round tapering surface. The pyramidal shape is very stable and resists sandstorms, which is why the Egyptian pyramids have lasted for thousands of years. Other than that, there could have been any number of reasons that we don't know about. Perhaps some Egyptian priest thought that some Egyptian deity liked that shape.
Does the ureter expands as a renal pyramid inside the kidney?
Renal pyramids are the cone shaped tissues in the kidney. The base of each pyramid starts at the corticomedullary border.
Does a right circular conehave a triangular as a base?
The answer is "No"; a right circular cone has a circle as its base while a right triangular cone has a triangular base (which we usually call a "pyramid". The Egyptian Pyramids have square bases. And the volume of any "right" pyramid is found by multiplying the area of its base by its VERTICAL height.
What is the meaning of circular pyramid or cone?
A pyramid has a shape at the base (it can be turned, remember) and this shape becomes progressively smaller as its height increases to finally become a point at the top.The type of pyramid depends on the actual shape of the base. Some pyramids have other names also (eg a triangular pyramid is also a tetrahedron).A circular pyramid is also called a cone.The pyramids in Egypt are square pyramids.
How are the volumes of cones and pyramids related to the volumes of prisms and cylinders?
A cone is 1/3 of the volume of a cylinder with the same base and height. A pyramid is 1/3 of the volume of a prism with the same base and height.
How many kinds of pyramids are their?
I don't know exactly how many, but I know there are Egyptian pyramids, Aztec and Mayan pyramids, unfinished pyramids, and rock pyramids, and sand pyramids.
