  • Athe vertical height
  • Bthe radius of the top
  • Cthe slant height
  • Dthe radius of the bottom

Step-by-Step Solution

Capacity is a volume, , which uses only the vertical height and the two radii. The slant height belongs to the surface-area formulas ; substituting for in the volume formula is a very common error.
