No, it never can equal one third of the lateral surface area:

If the base of the cylinder and cone has radius r, and the height of the cone and cylinder has height h, then:

Lateral surface area of a cone = πr√(r2+h2)

Lateral surface area of a cylinder = 2πrh

The lateral surface area of a cone equals one third the lateral surface area of a cone when:

πr√(r2+h2) = 1/3 x 2πrh

⇒ √(r2+h2) = 2/3h

⇒ r2+h2 = 4/9h2

⇒ r2 = -5/9h2

But a square number can never be negative, so this is impossible.

However, the volume of a cone is one third the volume of the cylinder with the same radius r and height h:

Volume cone = 1/3πr2h

Volume cylinder = πr2h

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.
