Cones have curved lateral surface, pyramids don't.
Chat with our AI personalities
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
The description given fits that of cones
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.
no u can not stack cones on eachother
democritus calculated the volume of pyramids and cones
