A glass trophy is made of two solid parts. The lower part is a cylinder of radius \(r\) cm and height \(r\) cm. The upper part is a cone of base radius \(r\) cm and vertical height \(h\) cm, which stands on the top face of the cylinder. The curved surface of the cone is covered with gold leaf.
The diagram below shows the trophy.
The design is changed so that the volume of glass is \(150\text{ cm}^3\).
The designer wants to use as little gold leaf as possible.
