CONCLUSION

Discuss the main points of the lesson by pair and share method.

The 1/3 comes from in the volume formula for general cones and pyramids. The volume formula for a general cylinder is the area of the cylinder’s base times the height of the cylinder, and a cylinder can be decomposed into three cones, each with equal volume; thus, the volume of each of the cones is 1/3 the volume of cylinder.
