Lesson 12.5: Volumes of Pyramids and Cones
Key Concepts: Volumes of Pyramids and Cones
Volume of a Pyramid
V = ⅓Bh
where B is the area of the base and h is the height.
Volume of a Cone
V = ⅓πr²h
Key Relationship
The volume of a pyramid (or cone) is exactly one-third the volume of a prism (or cylinder) with the same base and height.
