what are some examples of cones, spheres, cylinders, and pyramids?

cone: shape of an ice cream cone (without the ice cream)\nsphere: shape of a basketball\ncylinder: shape of a piece of pipe\npyramid: shape of ...well...a pyramid

Plain Newtonian Physics and Kepler's Laws; even a circle is a special case of an ellipse with both its focii coinciding (Coordinate Geometry).You may like to know more about properties of ellipses, circles, parabolas, hyperbolas, etc. 3D Coordinate Geometry and spherical trigonometry are pretty helpful.

A sphere is shaped like a tennis ball and is 3D.\nA circle is flat and is a 2D shape.\nThe best way to show a sphere to a kindy child is to use a tennis ball. Same goes for shoeboxes to show rectangular prism's, dice for square prisms etc. Hope this helps!

In general a cone, but not exactly.  A teepee doesn't actually go to an exact point and the large end is less a circle than it is an oval.

That is spherical geometry.  Geometry that describes the properties of figures drawn on the surface of the sphere.

Does it have to be a triangle??\n\nA cylinder is what comes to mind for me.  Like a soda can sliced in three equal parts.

There are in infinate number of 2d shapes, but here are diagrams of some of them --> http://www.mathleague.com/help/geometry/polygons.htm

b)hexagon(2d) or cube(3d).\nc)hemisphere\nd)triangle?\ne)net\nf)cube\ng)sphere\nh)decahedron\ni)dodecahedron\nj)parallelogram i think, if wat u mean is opposite equal  angles.

Spiral, lenticular, elliptical and irregular\n\nSee the link

Try Google or Yahoo.  You'll find worked examples there.  I think it needs diagrams to understand; they and the accompanying explanations are too complex to attempt to reproduce here.

Here is some information about tiling regular polygons (tiling is also called tessellation):\nhttp://mathforum.org/sum95/suzanne/whattess.html

The cone bering vascular plants are the conifers.The commenest is the X'mas tree.Their flowering and fruiting bodies are called CONES due to their conical shape. All these are huge trees and found in cold temparate countries like the USA and Canada as well as many Europien countries.Botanically they are all classified as Gymnosperms.Pines and Cedruses are other examples.A coniferous tree like Sequoia gigantia can grow upto 350 feet in height. The red wood forest in California USA is famous for them.Some such trees are in existence before the Christian Era.

polygons are 2 dimensional shapes. they must have all straight sides and they must be closed. some examples are squares triangles, etc.  circles aren't because they  have 1 curved side.\n\npolyhedrons are 3-d shapes that have all flat sides and have no openings. ex: cube. spheres, cones, and cylinders are not because they all have curved sides.

Each polygon has a different formula. Check out the source for more.

Could you give a few examples please?
