Frustum of Pyramid
Derivation of formula for volume of a frustum of pyramid/cone
Frustum of a pyramid and frustum of a cone
The formula for frustum of a pyramid or frustum of a cone is given by
V=h3[A1+A2+√A1A2]
Where:
h = perpendicular distance between A1 and A2 (h is called the altitude of the frustum)
A1 = area of the lower base
A2 = area of the upper base
Note that A1 and A2 are parallel to each other.
