Are pyramids and cones surfaces curved?

Pyramids, no; cones, yes (except the base).


Do pyrimds and cones have curved faces?

Cones do but pyramids don't


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


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.


Why are cylinders and cones not considered to be polyhedrons?

Cylinders and cones are not considered polyhedrons because they do not have flat faces, which is a defining characteristic of polyhedrons. Polyhedrons are three-dimensional shapes made up of flat surfaces, while cylinders and cones have curved surfaces. Additionally, polyhedrons have straight edges where faces meet, whereas cylinders and cones have curved edges. Therefore, cylinders and cones are classified as curved surfaces rather than polyhedrons.


What 3-d shapes with curved surfaces has faces vertices and edges?

The description given fits that of cones


How do the surface areas formula of cones and cylinders differ from that of prisms and pyramids?

The most general difference is: > The formula for the surface area of anything with a curved surface and edge will involve 'pi'. > The formula for the surface area of anything with only flat surfaces and straight edges won't.


What solid has a curved surface?

A solid with a curved surface is a sphere. Spheres are three-dimensional shapes where every point on the surface is equidistant from the center. Other examples of solids with curved surfaces include cylinders and cones, which have curved sides but flat bases. These shapes differ in their properties and dimensions but share the characteristic of having curves in their surfaces.


How many faces does 10 3d cones have?

A single cone has two faces: one curved surface and one circular base. Therefore, 10 three-dimensional cones would have a total of 20 faces (10 curved surfaces and 10 circular bases).


What is the difference between a polyhedron and a non-polyhedron?

A polyhedron is a three-dimensional geometric shape with flat polygonal faces, straight edges, and vertices, such as cubes and pyramids. In contrast, a non-polyhedron includes shapes that do not fit this definition, such as spheres, cylinders, and cones, which have curved surfaces and do not consist entirely of flat faces. Essentially, the key difference lies in the presence of flat polygonal faces in polyhedra versus the curved surfaces in non-polyhedra.
