See the following ACG :
Since the sphere is tangent to both the top and bottom bases, the height of the frustum must be = 6 = BE
And the slant height = 10 = BD
Notice that since AB and BC are tangents drawn from the same point, they are equal
And AB = 1/2 ot the top base of the frustum.....so BC equals the same.... and call this, m
But CD and DF are also tangents drawn from the same point.....so CD = DF
And because of the Pythagorean Theorem, DE = √ [BD^2 - BE^2= = √[10^2 - 6^2 ] = 8 = r - m
So.....we have the following eqautions
r + m = 10
r - m = 8 add these
2r = 18
r = 9 = bottom radius
So... 9 + m = 10 ⇒ m = 1 = top radius
So....the volume of the frustum is
(1/3) pi * height * ( top radius^2 + product of the radii + radius ^2 ) =
(1/3) pi * 6 * ( 1^2 + 1*9 + 9^2 ) =
(1/3) pi * 6 * ( 1 + 9 + 81) =
(1/3) pi * 6 ( 81) =
182 pi units^3
