  1. calculating perpendicular height of a frustum
    15 =    L   
    25    L+40
    15L + 600 = 25L
      L=60cm
      H=√(1002 − 252) =96.82cm
    96.82 =100
       h        60
          h = 58.09cm
    Perpendicular height = 96.82−58.09
                                    = 38.73
  2. Base = πr=625π
    Top   =       =225π
    C.S.A=πRL − πrl
            =2500π − 900π = 1600π
    T.S.A = 2450π
  3. v=1/3 × 625π × 96.82 − 1/× 225π × 58.09
     =20170.8π − 4356.75π = 15814.05π
  4. M=v × d
      = 15814.05 × 3.143 × 0.8
                   1000
      =39.76kg
