A frustum is the solid that remains when the upper part of a cone or pyramid is intersected or sliced by a plane parallel to the base of the cone or pyramid.


Area of a cone frustum

The area of the frustum of a cone is $\frac{1}{3}h(R^2+Rr+r^2)$, where R and r are the two radii of the lower and upper circle of the cone, respectively, and h is the height of the frustum.
