1/3 pi r^2 h = 30, so
h = 90/(pi r^2)
surface area = 2 pi r s
where r^2+h^2 = s^2, so
a = 2 pi r √(r^2 + (90/(pi r^2))^2)
= 2/r √(pi^2 r^6 + 8100)
for minimum paper, we need da/dr = 0, so, as wolframalpha so ably shows at
http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=2+pi+r+%E2%88%9A%28r^2+%2B+%2890%2F%28pi+r^2%29%29^2%29
r = ∛(45√2/pi)
so, h = ∛(180/pi)
