Your school subject is not the name of your school, it is the subject you are studying and have questions about. Please put that in the School Subject box so the appropriate tutor will see it.
Make two diagrams, one showing the sector in the original circle, and the second showing the cone
It should be clear to you that the arc of the sector becomes the circumference of the base of the cone.
arc/circumference = 108/360
arc/20π = 3/10
arc = 60π/10 = 6π cm
let the radius of the cone base be r
2πr = 6π
r = 3
the cone has a base radius of 3 cm
