How are the surface area formulas of cones and cylinders similar?
They both depend on circumference not perimeter.
How are cones and cylinders similar to pyramids and prisms?
cones are similar to pyramids because they come to a point, also known as the vertex. Cones and pyramids are also conic. Cylinders are similar to prisms because their base, no matter what shape, will translate (slide) all the way up the middle to the top. Basically, their 2 bases should always always always be congruent. Prisms and cylinders are also cylindric.
How are pyramids and cones different than prisms and cylinders?
They depend on radius rather than perimeter.
Cylinders and cones are just polyhedrons with circular bases?
False. Cylinders and cones are not just polyhedrons with circular bases.
How are cylinders and cones different and alike?
Different:cylinders and cones are different because cylinders have paralle sides and a cone does not because it has a base and a vertex so that mean that the cone comes up to a pointAlike: The cylinder and cone are both three-dimensional figures. They both have to do with geomatry.
Why is a formula for a cone and a cylinder different?
Cones and cylinders are different shapes. Likewise you could not calculate the area of a square with the formula for a triangle.
Are all cylinders with the same radii similar?
No. To be similar ALL lengths must be in the same ratio. If two cylinders have the same radii, but different heights then the radii have one ratio (1:1) but the heights have a different ratio; thus they are not similar.
Which three-dimensional figures have circular bases?
Cones, cylinders.
Why are cylinders and cones not considered to be polyhedrons?
A polyhedron is defined as a "geometric solid in three dimensions with flat edges and straight faces". As both cylinders and cones have curved faces, neither are polyhedra.
Why aren't cylinders and cones and spheres polygons?
polygons have faces and cylinders and cone and spheres only has bases not faces.
What 3 dimensional figure has a round base?
Cones, hemispheres, and cylinders have.
Are cones and cylinders polyhedra?
No. They have curved edges, so they can't be polyhedra.
