    Here is how you layout a compete pointed cone and a truncated cone: 

    http://www.anvilfire.com/21centbs/math/cones1.htm 

    it can be a little more roughly done without any math: 

    Strike a circle with the side as a radius. Roll a circle with the
    diameter of the base along this semi circumference. Strike a line to
    the point from the end of the marked circumference.. This the way I
    usually do it! To close small ones see "Form Emphasis for
    Metalsmiths" by Heikki Seppa pages 39-40 and 95-96 Hekki suggest a 
way
    to close larger ones too You need this book anyhow!
