Because the formula is the same: volume = 1/3base areaheight
Wouldn't a circle-based pyramid look a lot like a cone ? If so, you could probably use the formula for the volume of a cone and get away with it.
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.
A cone is a pyramid in its limit - when the base has infinitely many vertices.
A pyramid and a cone are alike because they are both are like in the same shape.
A cone ?
The formula for a pyramid. The volume of a pyramid is (1/3)(B)(h). The volume of a cone is essentially the same: (1/3)(B=πr2)(h)

A cone is a common pyramid-like figure where the base is a circle or other closed curve instead of a polygon. A cone has a curved lateral surface instead of several triangular faces, but in terms of volume, a cone and a pyramid are just alike.

A cone ?
Cause the volume a box is wider than the volume of a cone and when we use shaped cone the cereal wont fit in
the are flat on the bottom and tappered at the top
Yes, that's one of the things that makes it a cone. Just like a pyramid has a vertex as well.
cone shaped * * * * * It is a square.
