The formula for the curved surface or lateral area of a cone is A = 1 2 c L A=\dfrac{1}{2}cL where c c is the circumference of the base and L L is the slant height. So by pythagorean theorem, compute for L L in terms of r r (radius) then substitute to the formula. You will come up with an equation to the fourth degree, then solve for r r . After that, use the formula V = 1 3 A b h V=\dfrac{1}{3} A_bh where A b A_b is the area of the base and h h is the height: to find for the volume.
