Question 1194400
.
A Dutch windmill in the shape of the frustum of a right circular cone is 17 meters
high. The diameters at the bottom and the top are 24 meters and 15 meters, the
inner diameters 18 meters and 9 meters. How many cubic meters of stone were
required to build it?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


<pre>
Use the formula for the volume of a conical frustum

    V = {{{(1/3)*h*(A[1]+A[2]+sqrt(A[1]*A[2]))}}},


where h is the height,  {{{A[1]}}}  and  {{{A[2]}}}  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.
