There is no difference in the sense that the volume for either is the length times the area of cross-section.

a cylinder has round tops
The similarities are that:Cylinder and octagonal prisms are 3-D shaped figures.Assuming that octagonal prism are regular and cylinder and that prism have the same height, we can say that they almost resemble each other! In other words, their characteristics are like regular cylinders and octagonal prisms.The differences are that:The octagonal prism has more sides and faces than a cylinder. The octagonal prism has 10 faces while cylinder has 3 faces. The octagonal prism has 24 sides while cylinder doesn't have any of 'em!
Technically, a cylinder is a prism, as it has a fixed shape at the end.
The volume of the pyramid and cone is one third the volume of the corresponding (ie same [size] base and height) prism and cylinder.
To find the base area of any prism, including the circular prism called cylinder, divide the volume by the height.
