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
[tex]V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2h[/tex] 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:
[tex]25 \pi = \frac{1}{3} \pi x^2 (x-2)\\3(25) = x^2(x-2)\\Expand\\75=x^3-2x^2\\Swap\\x^3-2x^2 = 75\\Equate \ to \ zero\\x^3-2x^2 - 75 = 0[/tex]
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
