Program for Volume and Surface area of Frustum of Cone

Given slant height, height and radius of a frustum of a cone, we have to calculate the volume and surface area of the frustum of a cone.

Frustum of cone

In geometry, a frustum is the portion of a solid (normally a cone or pyramid) that lies between one or two parallel planes cutting it. If we cut a right circular cone by a plane parallel to its base, the portion of the solid between this plane and the base is known as the frustum of a cone. Given below is a right circular cone.

The right circular cone after being cut by a plane parallel to its base results in a frustum as follows:

which has a circular base at bottom of radius R circular upper portion with radius r height h and slant height l
