In Exercises 44 and 45, use the formula from Exercise 43. Similar triangles were used to find h and H. A margarine tub has the shape of a frustum of a cone. With the lower base having diameter length 11 cm and the upper base having diameter length 14 cm, the volume of such a container 623 cm tall can be determine by using H=3223 cm, h=26 cm. Find its volume. A frustum of a cone is the portion of the cone bounded between the circular base and a plane parallel to the base. With dimensions are indicated, show that the volume of the frustum of the cone is V=13R2H13rh2
