How to Calculate the Volume of a Truncated Cone: Step-by-Step Guide
A truncated cone is a cone with its top cut off parallel to the base. Its volume is the full cone minus the small cone removed, which simplifies to a formula using both radii and the height between them.
- (( R ) =) radius of the larger base
- (( r ) =) radius of the smaller base (the section that was removed)
- (( h ) =) height of the frustum (not the original cone’s height)
