\n" ); document.write( "Cone pointed down. Height is 12 top dia is 8.,,,,,,, 7 feet from bottom area is ?
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "8/12 = x/7,,,,,where x is dia
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "cross multiply,,,12x = 56,,,,,,x=4.67 ft in dia
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Area = pi*r^2 = pi* 4.67^2 = 68.42 sq ft
