Accepted Answer

Introduction to Frustum of a Cone
When a right circular cone is cut by a plane parallel to its base, the portion remaining between the cutting plane and the base is called a frustum of a cone. It has two circular bases of different radii and a curved surface. Parameters of a Frustum
Let the radius of the top circular base be $r1$, the radius of the bottom circular base be $r2$ (where $r2 > r1$), the vertical height of the frustum be $h$, and the slant height be $l$. Slant Height of the Frustum ($l$)
Using the Pythagorean theorem in the cross-section containing the axis of the frustum: $$l = \sqrt{h^2 + (r2 - r1)^2}$$ Curved Surface Area (CSA)
The curved surface area is obtained by considering it as the difference between two similar cones. The formula is: $$	ext{CSA} = \pi (r1 + r2) l$$ Total Surface Area (TSA)
To find the total surface area, we add the areas of both circular bases (top and bottom) to the curved surface area: $$	ext{TSA} = \pi (r1 + r2) l + \pi r1^2 + \pi r2^2$$ Volume of the Frustum ($V$)
The volume is derived from the difference of volumes of two complete cones. The standard formula is: $$V = \frac{1}{3} \pi h (r1^2 + r2^2 + r1 r2)$$ Summary of Applications
Frustums are widely observed in everyday objects such as buckets, drinking glasses, and funnel shapes. Understanding these formulas helps in solving complex industrial and architectural mensuration problems efficiently.
