Please I need a respectable proof how to get the volume of the truncated cone. I need it really quick. So please could you help me. No numbers just "the method" how to get that formula. Thanks.
If the truncation is parallel to the base, Halls of Ivy is correct. Otherwise it is some what more complicated.Please I need a respectable proof how to get the volume of the truncated cone.

dz instead of dx?Now imagine the entire cone, divided into thin disks: each has thickness "dz" and radius, x= (R1-R2)z/H+ R2 so area [itex]\pi [(R1-R2)z/H+ R2)^2[/itex] and volume [itex]\pi [(R1-R2)z/H+ R2)^2dx[/itex]. To find the entire volume integrate that from z= 0 to z= H.
