To find the volume of a frustum of a cone, you can use the formula:

V = (1/3)πh(R^2 + r^2 + Rr)

Where:

V = Volume of the frustum of the cone

h = Height of the frustum of the cone

R = Radius of the bottom base of the frustum of the cone

r = Radius of the top base of the frustum of the cone

π = Pi (approximately 3.14159)

Given:

Height (h) = 5 cm

Radius of bottom base (R) = 7 cm

Radius of top base (r) = 4 cm

Substituting the given values into the formula, we get:

V = (1/3)π(5)(7^2 + 4^2 + 7*4)

V = (1/3)π(5)(49 + 16 + 28)

V = (1/3)π(5)(93)

V = (5/3)π(93)

V ≈ 154.77 cm³

Therefore, the volume of the frustum of the cone is approximately 154.77 cm³.
