frustum

 

[ หˆfrสŒstษ™m ]

Noun
Context #1 | Noun

geometry shape

A frustum is the portion of a solid (normally a cone or a pyramid) that lies between two parallel planes cutting it. It can be described as a shape that has a smaller base and a larger base, joined by a curved or flat surface. The frustum is commonly used in geometry, architecture, and engineering. The volume and surface area of a frustum can be calculated using specific formulas.

Synonyms

truncated cone, truncated pyramid

Examples of usage

  • The frustum of a cone is often used in engineering designs.
  • To calculate the volume of a frustum, you need both the radii of the bases.
  • The frustum shape was utilized in the design of the new skyscraper.
  • The cake was shaped like a frustum, wider at the bottom and narrower at the top.

Word origin

The term 'frustum' originates from Latin, derived from the word 'frustum' meaning 'a piece cut off'. The concept of frustum has been traced back to ancient Greek and Roman geometric studies, where mathematicians studied solids and their properties. The use of frustums in architecture and engineering has increased over the centuries, allowing for innovative designs in various fields. The understanding of frustums has evolved through the work of mathematicians throughout history, enhancing both theoretical and practical applications in modern geometry.
