Frustum practice problems
A frustum (plural: frusta or frustums) is a geometric shape that results from cutting the top off a cone or pyramid with a plane parallel to its base. It is essentially a truncated cone or pyramid, consisting of two parallel bases (a larger base and a smaller top) connected by a curved or slanted surface.Key Features of a Frustum:
1. Bases: Two parallel polygonal or circular faces (one larger and one smaller).
2. Height (h): The perpendicular distance between the two bases.
3. Slant Height (l): The distance along the lateral (side) surface between the edges of the two bases (applies to cones and pyramids).
Types of Frustums:
1. Frustum of a Cone:
- The two bases are circles.
- The lateral surface is a curved surface.
2. Frustum of a Pyramid:
- The two bases are polygons (e.g., square, triangle).
- The lateral surface consists of trapezoidal faces.
