Volume of a Prismatoid [10/21/2008]

How can I calculate the volume of a pyramid for which the bottom end is rectangular and the top end is circular?

Volume of a Prolate Ellipsoid [07/07/1999]

Why does the equation for a prolate ellipse, V = 4/3*pi*a^2*c, indicate a DIRECT relationship between length of the ellipsoid and its volume while another equation to derive volume, V = (0.85*A1*A2)/L, indicates an INVERSE relationship of length to volume?
