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 88.
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 by itself three times results in a negative number.
The cube of 88 can be written as 88³, which is the exponential form.
Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as, 88 × 88 × 88.
In order to check whether a number is a cube number or not, we can use the following three methods, such as 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. 88³ = 88 × 88 × 88
Step 2: You get 681,472 as the answer.
Hence, the cube of 88 is 681,472.
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 88 into two parts. Let a = 80 and b = 8, so a + b = 88
Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
Step 3: Calculate each term a³ = 80³ 3a²b = 3 × 80² × 8 3ab² = 3 × 80 × 8² b³ = 8³
Step 4: Add all the terms together: (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³ (80 + 8)³ = 80³ + 3 × 80² × 8 + 3 × 80 × 8² + 8³ 88³ = 512,000 + 153,600 + 15,360 + 512 88³ = 681,472
Step 5: Hence, the cube of 88 is 681,472.
To find the cube of 88 using a calculator, input the number 88 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 88 × 88 × 88. This operation calculates the value of 88³, resulting in 681,472. It’s a quick way to determine the cube without manual computation.
Step 1: Ensure the calculator is functioning properly.
Step 2: Press 8 followed by 8
Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 88³.
Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 88 three times manually.
Step 5: The calculator will display 681,472.
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 88?
The cube of 88 is 681,472 and the cube root of 88 is approximately 4.447.
First, let’s find the cube of 88.
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 88³ = 681,472 Next, we must find the cube root of 88
We know that cube root of a number ‘x’, such that ³√x = y
Where ‘x’ is the given number, and y is the cube root value of the number
So, we get ³√88 ≈ 4.447
Hence the cube of 88 is 681,472 and the cube root of 88 is approximately 4.447.
If the side length of the cube is 88 cm, what is the volume?
The volume is 681,472 cm³.
Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side³.
Substitute 88 for the side length: V = 88³ = 681,472 cm³.
How much larger is 88³ than 80³?
88³ – 80³ = 169,472.
First find the cube of 88³, that is 681,472
Next, find the cube of 80³, which is 512,000
Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method. 681,472 – 512,000 = 169,472
Therefore, the 88³ is 169,472 larger than 80³.
If a cube with a side length of 88 cm is compared to a cube with a side length of 8 cm, how much larger is the volume of the larger cube?
The volume of the cube with a side length of 88 cm is 681,472 cm³.
To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object).
Cubing 88 means multiplying 88 by itself three times: 88 × 88 = 7,744, and then 7,744 × 88 = 681,472.
The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³), because we are calculating the space inside the cube.
Therefore, the volume of the cube is 681,472 cm³.
Estimate the cube of 87.9 using the cube of 88.
The cube of 87.9 is approximately 681,472.
First, identify the cube of 88,
The cube of 88 is 88³ = 681,472.
Since 87.9 is only a tiny bit less than 88, the cube of 87.9 will be almost the same as the cube of 88.
The cube of 87.9 is approximately 681,472 because the difference between 87.9 and 88 is very small.
So, we can approximate the value as 681,472.
