(The cone I am referring to in the comparison below to a pyramid is not the mathematical cone, but a truncated half cone)

  • Both cone and pyramid have a bottom surface (base) and a height
  • Both have a volume of 1/3 the area of the base times the height
  • Both have cross sections parallel to the base that are congruent to each other (all parallel sections are congruent to each other)
  • Both have a "point" where the the area of the cross section vanishes to 0
