Given that, the lateral surface area of a cylinder is equal to the curved surface area of a cone and their bases are same.
⇒Let r = radius of cylinder = radius of cone, h = height of cylinder and l = slant height of the cone.
And, lateral surface area of cylinder = 2πrh
Also, curved surface area of cone = πrl
⇒2πrh = πrl
