top is smaller so volume gotta be less than a cylinder

tu understand yu gotta no intergral...

yu integrate the area av a horizontal slies from bottom tu top (or top tu botton)

get bunch av thin slieses & add up volume av all the slieses

zampel...if hav square prymid, all the slieses=square so area= side*side

but side length vary from base leng at bottom tu zero at top

side leng=konstant*hite, so area=konstant*x*x...integrate x^2 & yu get (1/3)x^3
