The document defines and describes different types of pyramids and cones. It discusses their key elements, classification, formulas to calculate area and volume, and provides examples. Specifically:
- It defines a pyramid as a polyhedron with a polygonal base and triangular lateral faces meeting at a common vertex. It describes how pyramids are named based on their base polygon.
- It classifies pyramids as right, oblique, or regular and defines these terms. It provides the area and volume formulas for pyramids.
- It defines elements of pyramids like faces, edges, vertices. It discusses the regular tetrahedron as an example.
- It defines a cone, classifies them
