A container of yogurt has the shape of a frustum of a cone. With the lower base having diameter length 6 cm and the upper base having diameter length 8 cm, the volume of such a container 5.75 cm tall can be determined by using H = 23 cm and h = 17.25 cm. Find its volume (in cubic centimeters) using the formula V =R²H - ²h. Similar triangles were used to find h and H. (Use your calculator value of T. Round your answer to two decimal places.) 3 cm ³ V =
