There is a cone whose radius is equal to its height. The numerical surface area is equal to the numerical volume. Find the exact radius and volume of the cone.

Hey Penny,

I'm not sure if you are joking, but I disagree.  The cone in question has a volume, implying we are talking about a solid cone (or at least an enclosed shell in a cone shape).

To me, that means that we must include the surface area of the base.  Otherwise wouldn't the volume be 0?

However, as there shouldn't be opinions involved, I leave it to Jer to specify.
