How do you find the volume of a circle based pyramid?
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.
What is like a pyramid but its base is a circle?
A cone ?
What sort of pyramid has a circle base?
A cone
How are a cone and a pyramid alike?
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.
How does a cone differ from a pyramid?
a cone has a round surface and a circle bottom, but a pyramid has 5 squares. * * * * * A pyramid does not have 5 squares! It has a polygonal base with any number of sides. Attached to each of these sides, it has a triangle, and they meet at an apex.

What is to square as cone is to circle?
A pyramid
How many faces does a circle based pyramid have?
A circle-based pyramid, also known as a cone, has two faces: the circular base and the curved surface that tapers to a point at the apex. The base is a flat, two-dimensional shape, while the curved surface is a three-dimensional shape that extends from the base to the apex. Therefore, a circle-based pyramid has a total of two faces.
What shapes can be found on cone?

What is a pyramid with a circle base called?
Flying saucer. and a cone
Is a cone a sphere based pyramid?
maybe
Is a cone a pyramid or a prism?
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.

What is the name of a five sided cone?
A cone by definition has only two sides. A five-sided pyramid can refer to either a square-based pyramid (four angled sides and the base) or a pentagonal-based pyramid (five visible sides).
