Frustums WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION

This worksheet is perfect for challenging the brightest learners. In section A, they will need to find the volume of circular and square based frustums. This may involve thinking about similar shapes. Section B then requires the surface areas of three frustums. Section C will again require some thinking about similar triangles to help find both the volume and surface area of a circular frustum and square based frustum. An extension question involves finding the angle of the sectors used to form a frustum.
