The first step, when the length of the edge is not given:
The data h and r are enough. The edge of the cone can be calculated with the
help of the theorem of Pythagoras: s = .
The second step:
calculation of the perimeter of the base:
= 18,84955592.
The third step: calculation
of the perimeter of the circle with the radius:
= 31,41592654
The fourth step:
calculation of the portions of the small circle from the bigger one:

The fifth step: proportion
of the smaller circle times the area of the circle with the radius s:

The sixth step: The coat
multiplied with the area of the cones base:
.
The surface of a cone with the radius r = 3 and the
height h = 4 amounts to 75,4 cm².
