To the rectangle of the sides of the two bases, add one-third of the square of their difference ; their product beingmultiplied by the height, will give the solidity.
Example. —In the frustum of a square pyramid, one sideof the base a b or b c is 3 feet 6 inches, each side of the top2 feet 3 inches, and the perpendicular height h i, 8 feet9 inches, the solidity is required.
