The frustum, a slice taken out of a cone.

In geometry, a ‘slice’ taken out of a solid figure by a pair of parallel planes. A conical frustum, for example, resembles a cone with the top cut off. The volume and area of a frustum are calculated by subtracting the volume or area of the ‘missing’ piece from those of the whole figure.
