Pyramid Cone
A pyramid cone is a 3D shape that shares the same geometric properties as a pyramid and a cone. It is formed by joining two circular bases to a common vertex, resulting in a shape that has a circular base and two triangular pyramids attached to the base.
Key Characteristics:
Circular Base: The pyramid cone has a circular base, which is the curved top surface of the shape.
Two Triangular Pyramids: It also has two triangular pyramids attached to the base, one on top of the other.
Equal Base and Height: The base and height of a pyramid cone are equal, as they both form a circular sector.
Vertex: The vertex of the pyramid cone is located at the center of the base.
Examples:
A glass pyramid cone, such as the one used in a pyramid vase, is a pyramid cone with a circular base.
A cone used in a construction project, such as a retaining wall or a drainage pipe, is also a pyramid cone.
The Statue of Liberty is a famous pyramid cone, with a circular base and two triangular pyramids
