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.


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.


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 is a lava lamp shaped like a cone?

A lava lamp is shaped like a cone to allow the wax to rise and fall within the lamp in a visually appealing way. The cone shape helps create a more dynamic and mesmerizing lava flow effect as the wax warms up and cools down.


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

A cone-shaped graduate used for measuring volumes of liquids is not equally spaced because the volume increases exponentially as you move down the cone. The markings are calibrated to account for this non-linear relationship and provide accurate volume measurements.


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).


How many corners faces and sides does a cone cylinders and sphere have?

If these forms are all solid, a sphere has one side and face, a cone two, and a cylinder three. If there are hollow, they have one more face than side.


What is the formula for cylinder and cone?

Its not clear from the question what formulas are being requested, but: Surface area of a right cone (one where a line from the tip through the center of the base is perpendicular to the base) A = πr2 + π r(r2 + h2)½ Volume of a right cone V = (1/3)πr2h Surface area of a cylinder A = 2πr2 + 2πrh Volume of a cylinder V = πr2h where π is the number pi r is the radius of the figure h is the height of the figure perpendicular to the base. The equations for a slanted cone are more complex - so ask again with that specification if that is what you are looking for.
