    Cone : r radius of bottom circle, L lateral length, h = perpendicular height

    Total surface area = π r² (1 + L / r) Volume = 1/3 π r² h

    L² = r² + h²

    Similar cones = > r1 : r2 = L1: L2 = h1 : h2

    => L1 / r1 = L2 / r2 = > 1 + L1/r1 = 1 + L2/r2

    S1 : S2 = 2² : 3² = r1² : r2²

    r1 : r2 = 2 : 3 also h1 : h2 = 2 : 3

    Volumes V1 : V2 = r1² h1 / r2² h2 = (2/3) ² 2/3 = 8 / 9

    Well, the ratio of area is (Ratio of length) ^2. So we work backwards.

    ROL = [sqrt] 4:9

    = 2:3

    and its the same for height, because height is a length.

    NB: Ratio of volume = (Ratio of length) ^3
