Cube Root of 1029

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

A number we multiply by itself three times to get the original number is its cube root. It has various uses in real life, such as finding the volume of cube-shaped objects and designing structures. We will now find the cube root of 1029 and explain the methods used.

What is the Cube Root of 1029?

We have learned the definition of the cube root. Now, let’s learn how it is represented using a symbol and exponent. The symbol we use to express the cube root is the radical sign (∛), and the exponent we use is ⅓.

 

In exponential form, ∛1029 is written as 1029(1/3). The cube root is just the opposite operation of finding the cube of a number. For example: Assume ‘y’ as the cube root of 1029, then y3 can be 1029. Since the cube root of 1029 is not an exact value, we can write it as approximately 10.0726.

Finding the Cube Root of 1029

Finding the cube root of a number is to identify the number that must be multiplied three times resulting in the target number. Now, we will go through the different ways to find the cube root of 1029. The common methods we follow to find the cube root are given below:

 

  • Prime factorization method 
  • Approximation method 
  • Subtraction method 
  • Halley’s method

 

To find the cube root of a non-perfect number, we often follow Halley’s method. Since 1029 is not a perfect cube, we use Halley’s method.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Cube Root of 1029 by Halley’s method

Let's find the cube root of 1029 using Halley’s method.

The formula is: ∛a ≅ x((x3 + 2a) / (2x3 + a))

where: a = the number for which the cube root is being calculated

x = the nearest perfect cube

Substituting, a = 1029;

x = 10

∛a ≅ 10((103 + 2 × 1029) / (2 × 103 + 1029))

∛1029 ≅ 10((1000 + 2058) / (2000 + 1029))

∛1029 ≅ 10.0726

The cube root of 1029 is approximately 10.0726.

Trying to find perfect cube roots for non-perfect cube numbers.

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

Children often attempt to calculate an exact whole number for the cube root of numbers like 1029, which are not perfect cubes.

For example, they assume they would get an exact whole number for 1029 like they get for 1000 (since ∛1000 = 10). To avoid this error, memorize that some numbers don't have a perfect cube root, such as the cube root of 1029, which is approximately 10.0726.

Cube Root of 1029 Examples:

Ray, the Character from BrightChamps Explaining Math Concepts
Max, the Girl Character from BrightChamps

Problem 1

Imagine you have a cube-shaped container that has a total volume of 1029 cubic centimeters. Find the length of one side of the container equal to its cube root.

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

Side of the cube = ∛1029 ≈ 10.07 units

Explanation

To find the side of the cube, we need to find the cube root of the given volume.

Therefore, the side length of the cube is approximately 10.07 units.

Problem 2

A company manufactures 1029 cubic meters of material. Calculate the amount of material left after using 300 cubic meters.

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

The amount of material left is 729 cubic meters.

Explanation

To find the remaining material, we need to subtract the used material from the total amount:

1029 - 300 = 729 cubic meters.

Problem 3

A bottle holds 1029 cubic meters of liquid. Another bottle holds a volume of 200 cubic meters. What would be the total volume if the bottles are combined?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

The total volume of the combined bottles is 1229 cubic meters.

Explanation

 Let’s add the volume of both bottles:

1029 + 200 = 1229 cubic meters.

Problem 4

When the cube root of 1029 is multiplied by 2, calculate the resultant value. How will this affect the cube of the new value?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

2 × 10.07 = 20.14 The cube of 20.14 = 8172.67

Explanation

When we multiply the cube root of 1029 by 2, it results in a significant increase in the volume because the cube increases exponentially.

Problem 5

Find ∛(500 + 529).

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

∛(500 + 529) = ∛1029 ≈ 10.07

Explanation

As shown in the question ∛(500 + 529), we can simplify that by adding them.

So, 500 + 529 = 1029.

Then we use this step: ∛1029 ≈ 10.07 to get the answer.

Important Glossaries for Cube Root of 1029

  • Cube root: The number that is multiplied three times by itself to get the given number is the cube root of that number.
     
  • Perfect cube: A number is a perfect cube when it is the product of multiplying a number three times by itself. A perfect cube always results in a whole number. For example, 2 × 2 × 2 = 8, therefore, 8 is a perfect cube.
     
  • Exponent: The exponent form of a number denotes the number of times a number can be multiplied by itself. In a(1/3), ⅓ is the exponent which denotes the cube root of a number.
     
  • Radical sign: The symbol that is used to represent a root is expressed as (∛).
     
  • Irrational number: Numbers that cannot be put in fractional forms are irrational. For example, the cube root of 1029 is irrational because its decimal form goes on continuously without repeating the numbers.
