peer agreement (net): +1frusticonical surface Explanation: A cone with its head lopped off yields a frustrum, i.e., a surface where the head should be instead of a conical peak. The surface of the frustrum is the frusticonical surface or trucated surface of the cone. If you wanted to reword it, maybe flat head/tip of the cone. Ernst, Siemens Dic. of Elec. Eng. |

31 mins confidence:
surface of the frustum Explanation: I agree with the information provided in the previous answer, but you might prefer to simplify the expression slightly. "Surface of the frustum" may be just a little more straightforward. |
