Here,

b1 is an area of first base.

b2 is Ares of second base.

h is the height of the frustum.

Frustum of a Regular Pyramid Formula

A Pyramid is a Mathematical figure having three or four triangular faces as sides and a flat polygonal base which can be triangular, square or rectangular, etc. The side triangular faces are called Lateral faces. The common meeting point of all the triangular faces is called the apex. For a given pyramid having a base with ‘b’ sides has ‘2b’ edges and ‘b + 1’ faces and vertices.
