    Cone Surface Area?

    How to calculate the height of a cut cone (if it is called that in english), if the surface area is 320pi cm2, R = 10 and r = 5. See picture for explanation.

    First is this correct:
    Code:
    P -surface area
    P=B+B1+M
    
    B= 10^2*Pi
    
    B1=5^2*pi
    
    M=(R+r)*s*Pi
    M=15*s*Pi
    
    so
    P=100*pi + 25*Pi + 15*Pi*s
    320 = 100 + 25 + 15*s
    195 = 15*s
    s = 13
    
    H^2 = s^2 - (R - r)^2
    H^2 = 169 - 25
    H^2 = 144
    H = 12
    It seems correct but i have a solution which says it is not. Can the solution be wrong?
