  1. A frustum of a cone is the part that remains when the top of the cone is cut off by a plane parallel to the base.

    A cone of height H and base radius R is divided by plane parallel to the base with radius r, has height h from the vertex.

    Frustum of cone

    1. Explain how to use the formula for the volume of a cone to find the volume of a frustum of a cone.
    2. Containers A popcorn container 9 in. tall is the frustum of a cone. Its small radius is 4.5 in. and its large radius is 6 in. What is its volume?
  2. A disk has radius 10 m. A 90 degrees  sector is cut away, and a cone is formed.

    A disk with radius 10 meters has a 90 degrees sector cut away.

    The remaining disk is folded into a cone.

    1. What is the circumference of the base of the cone?
    2. What is the area of the base of the cone?
    3. What is the volume of the cone? (Hint: Use the slant height and the radius of the base to find the height.)
