Explanation

Let radius = r and height = h. Curved surface area of cylinder = 2πrh. Curved surface area of cone = πrl where l = √(r²+h²). Given 2πrh / πr√(r²+h²) = 8/5, we get 2h / √(r²+h²) = 8/5. Squaring: 4h² / (r²+h²) = 64/25, which simplifies to 100h² = 64r² + 64h², giving 36h² = 64r². Taking square root: 6h = 8r, so r/h = 6/8 = 3/4. The ratio of radius to height is 3:4.
