How do I create a function finding Surface Area, Volume, and Density of a cone?

I've already created a function, and it reads as follows and gives me wildly incorrect answers. Is there something I'm missing?
function [SA,V,D] = coneProperties(r,m,h)
SA = pi*r*(r+sqrt(h.^2 + r.^2));
V = pi*r^2*(h/3);
D = m./V;
The surface area answer should be about 254, but it gave me 1.337628854861238e+03, which is very much not the right answer. I'm not sure what I've done wrong, so any help is appreciated!

Looks like the OP had it right, but Im adding the formula back here for completeness.
function [SA,V,D] = coneProperties(r,m,h)
SA = pi*r*(r+sqrt(h.^2 + r.^2));
V = pi*r^2*(h/3);
D = m./V;
% Radius r, mass m, height h.
% Surface Area SA, Volume V, Density D.
