How many more bases does a cylinder have then a cone?

it has one more, because a cylinder has 2 and a cone has one.


Why does a cylinder have one more plane of symmetry than a cone?

A cylinder and a cone have infinitely many planes of symmetry because of the circular face. However, a cylinder can also be cut in half lengthwise (imaging cutting a soda can in half), while a cone cannot (imagine cutting a ice cream cone in half). Therefore, a cylinder has one more plane of symmetry than a cone.


Which type of volcano has more predictable eruptions?

Cone shaped


What are the Kinds of volcanoes according to shape?

Most types of volcanoes are either crater shaped or cone shaped. Stratovolcanoes are shaped like tall cone mountains and shield volcanoes are more flat and spread out.


Why is the Skeletal Muscle Cell shaped like a cylinder?

A cylinder is stronger and has more surface area.


Show that the volume of cylinder is equal to one third the volume of cone?

It isn't. If the cylinder and the cone have the same height and radius, the cylinder has a larger volume (twice as large). If they do not have the same height and radius you need more information to prove their relative volumes.


What is the a sharp pyramid shaped peak tat forms when three or more cirques erode a mountain?

CONE


How much less or more is the volume of a cylinder in comparison to that of a cone with same height and radius of the base?

The volume of a cylinder is three times as much.


Why would a cone-shaped graduate used for measuring volumes of liquids not be equally spaced?

because since a cone is large on the bottom and tapers to a point on the top, so does the volume of an object. if the graduate is cone shaped the lines would be closer at the bottom and more spread out at the top because any given crossection of the bottom would have more volume than one further up.


Why are traffic cones cone shaped?

Traffic cones are orange because it makes them stick out more, making them easier to notice.


What A cone shaped deposit that rises from the floor of a cave is know as a?

Cone shaped deposits that rise from the floor of a cave are called Stalagmites. This is easy to remember as it contains a letter 'G' as does ground. While a Stalactite, which hangs down from a cave ceiling, contains a letter 'C.'


Why is the curved surface of cone not 2pi x r x l?

Because 2Pi x r x L is the curved surface of a cylinder. Clearly a cylinder have more surface area than a cone of same height and radius. The surface of the cone is Pi x r x S where S is the slope length, so the cylinder has approximately double the surface area (note S is longer than L).
