A conical lid’s height is 2 centimeters less than the radius, x, of its base. If the lid is made of 25π cubic centimeters of clay, the equation x3 +? x2 +? = 0 can be used to find that the radius of lid’s base is centimeters.

The required expression that can be used to find the radius of the conical lid's with a height 2 centimeters less than the radius, x, of its base  is x³-2x²-75 = 0

The formula for calculating the volume of the conical lid's is expressed as

where:

r is the radius

h is the height

v is the volume

Given the following

r = x

If the conical lid’s height is 2 centimeters less than the radius, x, then;

h = x - 2

V = 25π cm³

Substitute the given values into the formula as shown:

Hence the required expression that can be used to find the radius of the conical lid's with a height 2 centimeters less than the radius, x, of its base  is x³-2x²-75 = 0

answer: a

step-by-step explanation: the answer is a due to the rule of symmetry; that a line of symmetry must divide a figure into 2 pieces that are the exact same, only reflected over a line of symmetry. b and c do not have lines of symmetry and would not divide the figure evenly, thus making the answer a.
