Final answer:

The expression that represents the radius of the cylinder is 7x.

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cylinder is given by the formula V = πr²h, where V is the volume, r is the radius, and h is the height. In this case, we are given that the volume is 49x² cubic units and the height is x units. We can substitute these values into the formula and solve for r:



49x² = πr²x



Divide both sides of the equation by πx:



49x = r²



Take the square root of both sides of the equation to solve for r:



r = √49x = 7x



Therefore, the correct expression for the radius of the cylinder is A. 2x.
