Section 10.3: Volume of Pyramids & Cones
The formula for the volume of prisms can also be applied to the volume of pyramids, which occupy only one third of the space of a corresponding prism with the same base and height. To calculate the volume of a pyramid, we simply multiply the area of the one of the bases times one third of the height of the pyramid. This formula is very similar to volume of cylinder and volume of cone formulas.
The formula for the volume of cylinders can also be applied to the volume of cones, which occupy only one third of the space of a corresponding cylinder with the same base and height. To find volume of cone dimensions and measurements, we simply use the formula for the area of a circle for one of the bases and then multiply by one third of the height of the cone. This formula is very similar to volume of cylinder and prism volume formulas.
