Description:
Calculates the surface area of a cone based on the radius of the base and the height.

Return Values:
Returns a simple value.

Example:

<CFSET radius=4>
  <CFSET slant=8>
  <CFOUTPUT>
  Given:
  <UL>
  <LI>radius=#radius#
  <LI>slant=#slant#
  </UL>
  The surface area of the cone is #SurfaceAreaCone(radius,slant)#
  </CFOUTPUT>

Parameters:
