Tapered N-Sided Box Calculator
Calculates cutting angles and dimensions for pyramidal frusta (tapered boxes)
Frustum Definition: In geometry, a frustum (plural: frusta or frustums) is the portion of a solid (normally a pyramid or cone) that lies between two parallel planes cutting it. A right pyramidal frustum is a frustum created by slicing the top off a pyramid with a cut parallel to the base.
Examples: Common frusta include lampshades, buckets, and tapered containers. This calculator handles right pyramidal frusta with 3 to 24 sides.
(90° = straight sides, smaller angles = more taper)
