What is a Frustum?

A frustum is what remains of a cone or pyramid when you slice off the top parallel to the base. A standard drinking cup or a bucket is a perfect example of a conical frustum.

The Volume Formula

The volume requires knowing the radius of the top base (r₁), the radius of the bottom base (r₂), and the height (h): V = (π·h / 3) × (r₁² + r₁·r₂ + r₂²).

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a frustum always circular?

No, you can have a frustum of a square pyramid, but this specific calculator uses the formula for a circular conical frustum.
