Question

this question was rejected and i can understand why it may have been, but i have already seen and done the exam, which is how i was able to see the question in the first place. i just want to see the solution as i attempted somethign with similar triangles, giving the cone an arbitrary height of 9 and radius 12, but got stuck. if you could please solve the question attached it'd be appreciated, thank you.
