The volume of a pyramid and a cone was first calculated by the ancient Greek mathematician Archimedes. He derived the formulas for these shapes, showing that the volume of a pyramid is one-third the product of its base area and height, and similarly, the volume of a cone is one-third the base area multiplied by its height. Archimedes' work laid the foundation for the principles of geometry and calculus that we use today.
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.
Cone: (1/3) * Pi * Radius² * Height Pyramid: (1/3) * (Base Area) * Height
The volume of the pyramid and cone is one third the volume of the corresponding (ie same [size] base and height) prism and cylinder.
Because the formula is the same: volume = 1/3base areaheight
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.
We did and the volume of a pyramid and a cone is 1/3*base area*perpendicular height given in cubic units.
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)
You don't.

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.

To find the volume of the cylinder ( V_1 ) that is not occupied by the cone, we first need to calculate the volumes of both the cone and the cylinder. The volume of the cone is given by ( V_{\text{cone}} = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h ), while the volume of the cylinder is ( V_{\text{cylinder}} = \pi r^2 H ), where ( h ) is the height of the cone, ( H ) is the height of the cylinder, and ( r ) is the radius of the base. The volume of the space not occupied by the cone in the cylinder is then ( V_1 = V_{\text{cylinder}} - V_{\text{cone}} = \pi r^2 H - \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h ). Since the cone and the pyramid have the same volume, this relationship helps in understanding their dimensions but does not directly impact the volume calculation for the cylinder.
Well most of the time there is nothing such as the volume of a triangle but there is cone and pyramid... Cone is 1/3 x pi x radius squared x height Pyramid 1/3 x area of base x height I think...
In both cases, the formula for volume is 1/3 times the base area times the height.
