Have one base
I don;t know what else.

They both come to a point, but cones have a round base and pyramids have a polygon for a base. As a result, pyramids have three or more lateral sides, depending on how many sides the base has.
They both have a formula for volume: V = (1/3)bh
Volume = (1/3)(base)(height)

Pyramids and cones are both three dimensional shapes (3-D shapes are actually called forms). Yes they both have a base, but do not have the same number of sides or faces. They do both have or come to a point.
They both can be symetrical if you are comparing a cone to a 5 sided pyramid as opposed to a 4 sided pyramid (I'm including the bottom side)

A cone's base is a circle, a pyramid's base is both a triangle or a sq.. A cone has in effortless words one curved part, on the bottom; a pyramid has 6 or 8 instantly edges the quantity in words of specifics is diverse: Vc = pir^2h/3, the position r is radius, h is top and Vc is quantity of cone vice chairman = s^2h/3, the position s is the dimensions of an aspect of the bottom, h is the top, and vice chairman is the quantity of a 4-sided pyramid vice chairman = bHh/6, the position vice chairman is quantity of a triangular pyramid, b is the bottom of the triangular base, H is the top of the triangular base, and h is the top of the pyramid. For both, the final formula to discover the quantity is the same: V = Bh/3, the position B is the area of the bottom both have a base and are available to a level

A cone has one flat circular base, one curved side, and an apex. The apex is directly above the centre of the base.
A pyramid has one flat polyhedral base, a number of flat triangular sides, and an apex. The apex is directly above the centre of the base.
As I said, the pyramid has a polyhedron as its base. If this polyhedron was a square (4 sides) then it would be the shape of the tombs along the Nile in Egypt. If it has a triangular base (3 sides), it would be a tetrahedron.
A polyhedron with an infinite number of sides is a circle, so therefore you can say that a cone is a particular type of pyramid.

there volumes are = as it is 1/3rd times base area times height
