This video tutorial explains how to find the volumes of cones and pyramids using a common formula: one-third times the base area times the vertical height. The video details how to calculate the base area for different shapes, such as circles for cones and squares or triangles for pyramids. It provides example calculations for both cones and pyramids, demonstrating the application of the formula. The tutorial concludes with a prompt for viewers to practice with questions on the platform.
