GCSE Maths - How to find the Volumes of Cones and Pyramids #113

This video tutorial explains how to calculate the volumes of cones and pyramids using similar formulas. The volume of both shapes is determined by multiplying one-third of the base area by the vertical height. For cones, the base is a circle, so the area is calculated using pi r squared. For pyramids, the base area depends on the shape of the base, such as a square or triangle. The video provides examples with specific measurements to demonstrate the calculations for both a cone and a square-based pyramid.
