A cone-shaped cup is cut flat at its top. The missing small cone must be removed from the original cone before the capacity is known.
- A cone-shaped cup is cut flat at its top. The missing small cone must be removed from the original cone before the capacity is known.
- This lesson studies frustum 截锥体: The remaining solid after a cone or pyramid is cut parallel to its base.
Choose the mathematical structure
- Pyramid and cone volumes are one third of base area times perpendicular height. A sphere has volume 4πr³/3 and area 4πr². A cone’s curved area is πrl using slant height l; its volume uses perpendicular height h. For a frustum subtract the removed similar solid. Composite surface area counts only exposed faces; joined faces are hidden.
- State the allowed inputs and units before calculating. An equation should express the relationship, not just record a calculator entry.
A cone has radius 3 and perpendicular height 4. Why is its slant height 5 NOT used in V=πr²h/3?

Volume depends on the perpendicular height - the direction in which cross-sectional areas accumulate. The slant height 5 (from the 3-4-5 triangle) belongs to the curved-surface formula πrl instead.
Work through a checked case
- Check the result against the starting quantities. Substitute into the original relation, or compare the graph and numerical answer where appropriate.
A cone with radius 3 cm and perpendicular height 4 cm has slant height 5 cm. Volume is 12π cm³, curved area 15π cm² and total closed area 24π cm². A sphere of radius 3 has volume 36π cm³ and area 36π cm², with different units. A square pyramid of base side 6 and height 4 has volume 6²×4/3=48 cm³; each triangular face has slant height √(4²+3²)=5, so lateral area is 4×(6×5/2)=60 cm² and total area 96 cm². A large cone r=6,h=8 loses a similar top cone r=3,h=4: frustum volume is 96π-12π=84π cm³. Its slant height is 10-5=5; curved area is 60π-15π=45π, and two circular ends add 36π+9π for total 90π cm².

Test a tempting shortcut
- Perpendicular height and slant height are not interchangeable. A frustum is not a full cone of the leftover height. Shared composite faces do not contribute exposed area.
- When a shortcut fails, identify the assumption it breaks. Keep an exact value until the requested final rounding.
A cone’s slant height can always replace its perpendicular height in the volume formula. This claim is false. Explain which definition or assumption it violates.

The one-third factor comes from tapering to a point; a frustum keeps the difference of two similar cones, not a cone of the leftover height.
