Start with a regular tetrahedron (triangular based pyramid). As you increase the number of sides in the base of the pyramid, the shape becomes more and more like a right cone. In the limit, the base tends to a polygon with an infinite number of sides - a circle, and the pyramid tends to a right cone.

Explain how a pyramid and a cone are alike and different?
a pyramid and a cone are alike because they both have a flat side on the bottom and they can slide. they are different because a pyramid has 5 flat sides on the sides and 1 flat side on the bottom part. a cone can roll but a pyramid can't roll like the cone.
How are the pyramid and cone alike?
The cone and the pyramid both have a base and a tip. The cone has a circular base and only 2 faces, 1 edge, and 1 vertex. The pyramid can have 4 verticies, 6 edges, and 4 faces; or 5 verticies, 8 edges, and 5 faces.
