me take it, yu meen the area av the side av the kone=125

& yu dont overlap the sides (maebee tape edjes tugether)

side area av kone=triangel with base=rim-leng av serkel

triangel base=2pi*radius

triangel side area=(1/2)base*slant-hite=pi*radius*slant-hite

slant hite av kone=sqrt(rad*rad + hite*hite)

slant hite=sqrt(100 + rad*rad)

area=125=sqrt(100+rad*rad)*pi*rad

area/pi=125/pi=rad*sqrt(100+rad*rad)=29.7887382

bi tri & tri agin (iterate) me get rad=2.863758
