6. Pictured on the back of a $1 bill is the frustum of a square pyramid, the part of the pyramid included between its base and a plane parallel to its base. h The volume of the frustum is + ab + b³ where its dimensions are a, b, and it as shown on the figure. a) What does represent? b) What does a represent? c) What does the volume expression become if a=0? d) For what type of geometric solid does your answer to part e give the volume? e) What does the volume expression become ifa-b7 f) For what type of geometric solid does your answer to parte give the volume?
