Area of the base is \"pi+%2A+r%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "Area of the cone is pi * r * s, where r is the radius and s the distance from the apex of the cone to the base. \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The area of the whole figure then is A = \"pi+%2A+r%5E2++%2B+pi+%2A+r+%2A+s\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You are given the value of r, but not of s. You can calculate though because it is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with s and h as its legs. From the Pythagorean theorem, \"a%5E2+%2B+b%5E2+=+c%5E2\"\r

\n" ); document.write( "\"36+%2B+36%2A3+=+s%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"144+=+s%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "s = 12\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Substitute the values of s and r in the above equation to calculate the area\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "A = \"pi+%2A+r%5E2++%2B+pi+%2A+r+%2A+s\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If you factor the Pi from both terms:
\n" ); document.write( "A = \"Pi+%2A+%28r%5E2+%2B+rs%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "A = \"Pi+%286%5E2+%2B+6%2A12%29\"
