Cone Development

[Mark Bowes]

I am tring to write a program to develop a truncated cone into a flat development.

I have an arc length...

I need to use this length to measure around a circle twelve times...

The easy way is to use a chord for the arc length and use circles but this isnt totally accurate...

Any ideas

Meaning the "skin" around a cone?
