Suppose r be the radius of base circle of the cone, l be the slant length and h be the height of the cone

Let us assume be the semi - vertical angle of cone.

As we know that volume of a right circular cone is given by

From the cross-section of the cone, we see that

Let us consider S as a function of R and to find the value of r for it's extremum,

Differentiate S with respect to r, we get

On equating differentiate to zero to get the relation between h and r

Since, the remainder > 0 only the remainder gets equal to zero.
