    Volume of cone is given by:

    V=1/3πr²h

    thus the radius of the cone will be:

    58.9=1/3*3.14*r²*9

    r²=6.25265

    r~2.5 cm

    thus the area of the cone will be:

    A=πr (r+√ (h²+r²))

    A=3.14*2.5 (2.5+√ (2.5²+9²))

    A=92.9500 cm²

    Thus the area of material needed to make the cup is 92.95 cm²
