The assertion correctly states the formula for the curved surface area of a right circular cone, using the Pythagorean theorem to find the slant height as the square root of (h^2 + r^2). The reason also states a correct geometric fact, but since the assertion is a standalone formula rather than a conditional claim, the reason does not explain why the assertion is true. Therefore, both the assertion and reason are correct, but the reason is not the explanation for the assertion.
