She is trying to determine whether to store the liquid in a regular square pyramid or in a right circular cone storage container. The pyramid container has a base that is 6 inches by 6 inches and a height of 8 inches.  The cone container has a base with a diameter of 6 inches and a height of 10 inches.  Which container --the pyramid or the cone -- has a greater volume, and by how many cubic inches? </SPAN>\n" );
