Question:
Find the ratio of the curved surface area of two cones if their diameter of the bases are equal and slant heights are in the ratio 4: 3.
Solution:
Given that,
Diameter of two coins are equal.
Therefore their radius are equal.
Let r1 = r2 = r
Let ratio be x
Therefore slant height $\left.\right|_{1}$ of $1^{5 t}$ cone $=4 x$
Similarly slant height $I_{2}$ of $2^{\text {nd }}$ cone $=3 x$
Therefore $C . S . A_{1} / C . S . A_{2}$
$=\frac{\pi * r_{1} * l_{1}}{\pi * r_{2} * l_{2}}$
$=\frac{\pi * r * 4 x}{\pi * r * 3 x}$
= 4/3
Hence ratio is 4: 3
