Let the height of the cone be \(h\) units and the radius be \(r\) units. ∴ According to the question, \(πrl = \sqrt{5} × πr^2\) i.e., \(l = \sqrt{5}r\) i.e., \(\sqrt{h^2 + r^2} = \sqrt{5}r\) i.e., \(h^2 + r^2 = 5r^2\) i.e., \(h^2 = 4r^2\) i.e., \(\cfrac{h^2}{r^2} = \cfrac{4}{1}\) i.e., \(\cfrac{h}{r} = \cfrac{2}{1}\) i.e., \(h : r = 2 : 1\) ∴ The ratio of the cone’s height to its radius is \(2 : 1\).
