Hi there,

The equation for the surface area of a cone (not including the base)
is A=Pi*r^2+Pi*r*s where Pi=3.14159, r=radius, and s=slant height. If
you have the height instead of the slant height you can use the
equation A=Pi*r*(r+(r^2+h^2)^(1/2))

So, for your equation:

A=Pi*6^2+Pi*6*9
 =Pi*36+Pi*54
 =282.74
