Looking for the formula for lateral surface area of a cone in a textbook
or in some other reference is useful.
Lateral Surface Area for a cone, , where , the LATERAL height;
and h is the cone's height. You are not interested in any bottom surface contributed by the circular
part opposite the tip(the pointy part) of the cone.
A for the lateral surface area,
Given A=6pi square inches and h=3,
This is an equation in quadratic form, so you can solve for r, either symbolically first,
or maybe plug in all the known given values first, and then solve that way. I would
plug in the known values now and solve for and then for r from that. Either way,
these will be lengthy steps.
