The frustum is that portion of a solid which lies \"between\" two parallel planes cutting the solid and has a top base radius \"r%5B1%5D\", bottom base radius \"r%5B2%5D\", height \"h\", and slant height \"s\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "slant height (\"s\") could be found using a formula:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"s=sqrt%28%28r%5B1%5D-r%5B2%5D%29%29%5E2%2Bh%5E2%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The LATERAL surface area, \"not\" including the top and bottom circles, is\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"LA=pi%2A%28r%5B1%5D%2Br%5B2%5D%29s\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"LA=pi%2A%28r%5B1%5D%2Br%5B2%5D%29sqrt%28%28r%5B1%5D-r%5B2%5D%29%29%5E2%2Bh%5E2%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "and the TOTAL surface area will be greater for a top base and bottom base area which are \"r%5B1%5D%5E2%2Api\" and \"r%5B2%5D%5E2%2Api\"\r
