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 point

Alike: The cylinder and cone are both three-dimensional figures. They both have to do with geomatry.

How are cylinders and cones alike in math?

They have at least one circular base.


How are cones and flowers are alike How they are different?

Flowers and cones are alike in that they are both produced by trees and both produce seeds for reproduction. Differences between the two are their appearance is quite different and the reproductive process is not the same.

Cylinders and cones are just polyhedrons with circular bases?

False. Cylinders and cones are not just polyhedrons with circular bases.


How are pyramids and cones different than prisms and cylinders?

Pyramids and cones have a pointed top (apex) while prisms and cylinders have flat tops. Pyramids and cones have a single base, while prisms have two parallel bases. Cones have a curved surface while pyramids have triangular faces.


How cones and cylinders similar How are they different?

Similar: They both have a circular base.Different: A cone has a vertex, a cylinder does not.


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


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.


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.


How are prisms and cylinders alike and different?

Prisms have polygonal cross sections and several rectangular lateral faces. Cylinders have circular cross sections and one curved lateral face.
