Q14 of 24 Page 227

The curved surface area of a right circular cone is √5 times of its base area. Let us write the ratio of the height and the length of a right circular cone are always the three sides of a right-angled triangle.

Given: Curved Surface Area of a right circular cone = √5 Base Area of right circular cone


Curved Surface Area of a right circular cone = πrl


Base area of right circular cone, A = πr2



……………….eq(i)


Now from the cone we know that,


……………..eq(ii)


Where, h is the height of cone


Now from (i) and (ii), we get that




Now, h cannot be negative, hence such cone is not possible.
