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