When a pyramid or a cone is cut by a plane parallel to its base, thus removing the top portion, the remaining portion is called ___________ Correct Answer frustum

When a pyramid or a cone is cut by a plane parallel to its base, thus removing the top portion, the remaining portion is called its frustum. When a solid is cut by a plane inclined to the base it is said to be truncated.
