What's the equation to find the volum of a fraction of a cone? Like a cut-off toped cone and finding the volume left over on the bottom?
NO CALCULUS PLEASE!

The bit left over is a frustrum, and here's the gen on how to do the calcs:

Well that had calculus in but you probably can't do it without so bad luck.
If I had a cone and cut off top.. so that it was in mid section.. couldn't you use trigonometry???
I always figured you could find the surface area by taking the average circumference and using that.. as if it were a cylinder.. could that be applied? Like get the surface area of the average circle (in mid of frustrum or what not) and do that * Depth???? Or am I way out of my league
