Question 5

The diagram represents a large glass cone of height 12 cm and base diameter 18 cm. The large cone is made by placing a small cone P of height 8 cm and base diameter 12 cm on top of a frustum Q.

Volume of cone=13πr2h \text{Volume of cone} = \frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h Volume of cone=31​πr2h Curved surface area of cone=πrl \text{Curved surface area of cone} = \pi r l Curved surface area of cone=πrl

Calculate the volume of the frustum Q. Give your answer in terms of π\piπ.
