Solids for which Volume = 1/3 Area of Base times Altitude

solid 006 Pyramid and Cone

This is a group of solids in which the volume is equal to one-third of the product of base area and altitude. There are two solids that belong to this group; the pyramid and the cone.

 

Derivation of Formula for Lateral Area of Frustum of a Right Circular Cone

005 Figure for the Derivation of Formula for Lateral Area of Right Circular Cone

The lateral area of frustum of a right circular cone is given by the formula

 

AL = π (R + r)L

 

where
R = radius of the lower base
r = radius of the upper base
L = length of lateral side
