Frustom of a cone

Objective

To learn frustum of cone

Frustum of cone

Frustum of cone is the part of cone when it is cut by a plane into two parts. The upper part of cone remains same in shape but the bottom part makes a frustum. To get this part of the right circular cone we have to slice it horizontally or parallel to the base.
