Height of the cone h and base radius r lengths ratio is equal to 4:3. From the cone was cut part, as shown in figure (a=1200).
How many times the cut part of the total surface area is less than the total surface area of ​​a cone?

Hello,
I need help to solve this problem.

So, hr=43\displaystyle \frac{h}{r}=\frac{4}{3}


The total surfase area of the cone is: SA = πr(r + l).
How get formula of the cut part?

Your formula for the SA of a cone is correct. Notice that 120 degrees is 1/3 of a circle (120/360 = 1/3). This means that you have cut 1/3 of the cone's volume away. If you neglected the cut surfaces, you would also have removed 1/3 of the base (circle) area and 1/3 of the "side" surface area.

From the way you have stated the problem, it is not clear to me if you must also include the "cut" surfaces into the calculation for the SA of the cut cone. If you are supposed to include those surfaces, remember that triangle area is (1/2)(base)(height) and that you have two triangles.
 
The slant length is r2+h2\displaystyle \sqrt{r^2+ h^2}. If you cut along one side and flatten it out (Which you can do without distortion. The surface of a cone, unlike the surface of a sphere, is a "developable surface". Any surface, at every point of which there is at least one straight through that point in the surface, is a "developable surface" and can be "flattened". For a cone, at any point, the line through the point and the vertex lies in the cone.) you have part of a disk of radius r2+h2\displaystyle \sqrt{r^2+ h^2} and so circumference 2πr2+h2\displaystyle 2\pi\sqrt{r^2+ h^2} and area π(r2+h2)\displaystyle \pi(r^2+ h^2). The circumference of the base of the cone is 2πr\displaystyle 2\pi r and so only covers a fraction 2πr2πr2+h2=rr2+h2\displaystyle \frac{2\pi r}{2\pi\sqrt{r^2+ h^2}}= \frac{r}{\sqrt{r^2+ h^2}} of the circumference of the disk. The area of the cone is that same fraction of the area of the disk. Turning that over gives the number of times the area of that disk is of the area of the cone: r2+h2r\displaystyle \frac{\sqrt{r^2+ h^2}}{r}.

In particular, if h=(4/3)r\displaystyle h=(4/3)r that becomes r2+16r2/9r=1+16/9=25/9=5/3\displaystyle \frac{\sqrt{r^2+ 16r^2/9}}{r}= \sqrt{1+ 16/9}= \sqrt{25/9}= 5/3.
 
h:r=4:3h=4k;r=3k\displaystyle h:r = 4:3 \Rightarrow h = 4k;r = 3k

l=25k2=5k\displaystyle l = \sqrt {25{k^2}} = 5k

S=πRl+πR=24πk2\displaystyle S = \pi Rl + \pi R = 24\pi {k^2}

S1\displaystyle S1 - cut part.
S2\displaystyle S2 - other part.

S1S2=120360=13\displaystyle \frac{{S1}}{{S2}} = \frac{{120}}{{360}} = \frac{1}{3}

S1=1324πk2=8πk2\displaystyle S1 = \frac{1}{3} \cdot 24\pi {k^2} = 8\pi {k^2}
S1=2324πk2=16πk2\displaystyle S1 = \frac{2}{3} \cdot 24\pi {k^2} = 16\pi {k^2}

S2S1=16πk28πk2=2\displaystyle \frac{{S2}}{{S1}} = \frac{{16\pi {k^2}}}{{8\pi {k^2}}} = 2 times smaller.
