~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Use the formula for the volume of a conical frustum

    V = ,


where h is the height,    and    are the base areas

(see this source https://mathworld.wolfram.com/ConicalFrustum.html ) .


    Using the formula, calculate the volume of the larger frustum;

    calculate the volume of the smaller frustum, which represent the empty part;

    after that, take the difference of these volumes, which will provide your answer.


From the problem description, you have all necessary data to complete calculations on your own.

Solved.
