The lateral surface area of a cone is where l is the slant height. For this cone, that is .

The height of the cone is found as the other leg of a right triangle with one leg 3 and hypotenuse 6. That gives us .

After the cone is cut into four identical pieces, the total surface area of one piece includes...
(1) one-quarter of the area of the base of the cone;
(2) one-quarter of the lateral surface area of the cone; and
(3) two right triangular faces with legs 3 and 3*sqrt(3).

Do the calculations for one piece and multiply the total times 4....
