The correct answer is: $9 \mathrm{~cm}$
$\mathrm{h}_{1} \mathrm{r}_{1}=\mathrm{h}_{2} \mathrm{r}_{2}$
$\frac{\mathrm{h}_{1}}{\mathrm{~h}_{2}}=\frac{\mathrm{r}_{2}}{\mathrm{r}_{1}}$
$\mathrm{~A} \propto \mathrm{r}^{2}$
$\sqrt{\mathrm{A}} \propto \mathrm{r}$
$\therefore \quad \mathrm{h}_{2}=\mathrm{h}_{1} \sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{A}_{1}}{\mathrm{~A}_{2}}}=3 \sqrt{9}=3 \times 3=9 \mathrm{~cm}$
