A
conical frustum is a frustum created by slicing the top off a cone (with the
cut made parallel to the base). For a right circular cone, let
be the slant
height and
and
the base and top radii.
Then

The surface
area, not including the top and bottom circles,
is

The volume of the
frustum is given by

This
formula can be generalized to any pyramid by
letting
be the base areas of the top
and bottom of the frustum. Then the volume can be
written as

The
area-weighted integral of
over the frustum is

so
the geometric centroid is located along the z-axis at a height

case of the cone is given by
