If the axial section of a cone is an equilateral triangle, then its side area is () A. 4 times B. 3 times C. 2 times D. 2 times

If the axial section of a cone is an equilateral triangle, then its side area is () A. 4 times B. 3 times C. 2 times D. 2 times

The axial section of a cone is an equilateral triangle. If the radius of its bottom is r, its bottom area is π R2; the side area of a cone is 12 × 2 π R × 2R = 2 π R2; therefore, the ratio of its bottom area to its side area is 1:2
