no idea? ever think of google?
In about a minute you can get the derivation of the handy formula
v = 1/3 πh (R^2 + Rr + r^2)
where
h = height of frustrum
r = small radius
R = large radius

Or, you can go the long way around and calculate the volume of the whole cone, then subtract the volume of the tip which was cut off.
