When a number is multiplied by itself thrice, the resultant number is called the cube of a number. Cubing is used when comparing sizes of objects or things with cubic measurements. In this topic, we shall learn about the cube of 209.
A cube number is a value obtained by raising a number to the power of 3, or by multiplying the number by itself three times. When you cube a positive number, the result is always positive. When you cube a negative number, the result is always negative. This is because a negative number multiplied by itself three times results in a negative number. The cube of 209 can be written as 209³, which is the exponential form. Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as 209 × 209 × 209.
To determine whether a number is a cube number or not, we can use the following three methods: the multiplication method, a factor formula (a³), or by using a calculator. These three methods will help kids to cube the numbers faster and easier without feeling confused or stuck while evaluating the answers.
The multiplication method is a process in mathematics used to find the product of two numbers or quantities by combining them through repeated addition. It is a fundamental operation that forms the basis for more complex mathematical concepts.
Step 1: Write down the cube of the given number.
209³ = 209 × 209 × 209
Step 2: You get 9,139,561 as the answer.
Hence, the cube of 209 is 9,139,561.
The formula (a + b)³ is a binomial formula for finding the cube of a number. The formula is expanded as a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³.
Step 1: Split the number 209 into two parts, as 200 and 9.
Let a = 200 and b = 9, so a + b = 209
Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
Step 3: Calculate each term a³ = 200³ , 3a²b = 3 × 200² × 9 , 3ab² = 3 × 200 × 9² , b³ = 9³
Step 4: Add all the terms together: (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
(200 + 9)³ = 200³ + 3 × 200² × 9 + 3 × 200 × 9² + 9³ 209³
= 8,000,000 + 1,080,000 + 48,600 + 729 209³ = 9,139,561
Step 5: Hence, the cube of 209 is 9,139,561.
To find the cube of 209 using a calculator, input the number 209 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 209 × 209 × 209. This operation calculates the value of 209³, resulting in 9,139,561. It’s a quick way to determine the cube without manual computation.
Step 1: Ensure the calculator is functioning properly.
Step 2: Press 2 followed by 0 and 9.
Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 209³.
Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 209 three times manually.
Step 5: The calculator will display 9,139,561.
There are some typical errors that kids might make during the process of cubing a number. Let us take a look at five of the major mistakes that kids might make:
What is the cube and cube root of 209?
The cube of 209 is 9,139,561 and the cube root of 209 is approximately 5.996.
First, let’s find the cube of 209.
We know that cube of a number, such that x³ = y
Where x is the given number, and y is the cubed value of that number
So, we get 209³ = 9,139,561
Next, we must find the cube root of 209.
We know that cube root of a number ‘x’, such that ∛x = y
Where ‘x’ is the given number, and y is the cube root value of the number
So, we get ∛209 ≈ 5.996
Hence, the cube of 209 is 9,139,561 and the cube root of 209 is approximately 5.996.
If the side length of the cube is 209 cm, what is the volume?
The volume is 9,139,561 cm³.
Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side³.
Substitute 209 for the side length: V = 209³ = 9,139,561 cm³.
How much larger is 209³ than 200³?
209³ – 200³ = 1,139,561.
First find the cube of 209³, that is 9,139,561
Next, find the cube of 200³, which is 8,000,000
Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method.
9,139,561 – 8,000,000 = 1,139,561
Therefore, 209³ is 1,139,561 larger than 200³.
If a cube with a side length of 209 cm is compared to a cube with a side length of 100 cm, how much larger is the volume of the larger cube?
The volume of the cube with a side length of 209 cm is 9,139,561 cm³.
To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object).
Cubing 209 means multiplying 209 by itself three times: 209 × 209 = 43,681, and then 43,681 × 209 = 9,139,561.
The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³) because we are calculating the space inside the cube.
Therefore, the volume of the cube is 9,139,561 cm³.
Estimate the cube of 208.9 using the cube of 209.
The cube of 208.9 is approximately 9,139,561.
First, identify the cube of 209: The cube of 209 is 209³ = 9,139,561.
Since 208.9 is only a tiny bit less than 209, the cube of 208.9 will be almost the same as the cube of 209.
The cube of 208.9 is approximately 9,139,561 because the difference between 208.9 and 209 is very small.
So, we can approximate the value as 9,139,561.
