An upright cylinder of radius … is sliced by two parallel planes…

An upright cylinder of radius $r$ is sliced by two parallel planes at angle $α$ . One is a height $h$ above the other.
(a) Draw a picture to show that the volume between the planes is $π r^{2} h$ .
(b) Tilt the picture by $α$ , so the base and top are flat. What is the shape of the base? What is its area $A$ ? What is the height $H$ of the tilted cylinder?
