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 298.
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 298 can be written as 298³, which is the exponential form. Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as, 298 × 298 × 298.
In order to check whether a number is a cube number or not, we can use the following three methods, such as the multiplication method, a factor formula (a³), or by using a calculator. These three methods will help individuals to cube 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 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. 298³ = 298 × 298 × 298
Step 2: You get 26,505,592 as the answer. Hence, the cube of 298 is 26,505,592.
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 298 into two parts, as and . Let a = 300 and b = -2, so a + b = 298
Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
Step 3: Calculate each term
a³ = 300³
3a²b = 3 × 300² × (-2)
3ab² = 3 × 300 × (-2)²
b³ = (-2)³
Step 4: Add all the terms together:
(a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
(300 - 2)³ = 300³ + 3 × 300² × (-2) + 3 × 300 × (-2)² + (-2)³
298³ = 27,000,000 - 540,000 + 3,600 - 8
298³ = 26,505,592
Step 5: Hence, the cube of 298 is 26,505,592.
To find the cube of 298 using a calculator, input the number 298 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 298 × 298 × 298. This operation calculates the value of 298³, resulting in 26,505,592. It’s a quick way to determine the cube without manual computation.
Step 1: Ensure the calculator is functioning properly.
Step 2: Press 2, 9, followed by 8
Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 298³.
Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 298 three times manually.
Step 5: The calculator will display 26,505,592.
There are some typical errors that people might make during the process of cubing a number. Let us take a look at five of the major mistakes that might occur:
What is the cube and cube root of 298?
The cube of 298 is 26,505,592 and the cube root of 298 is approximately 6.669.
First, let’s find the cube of 298.
We know that the 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 298³ = 26,505,592
Next, we must find the cube root of 298 We know that the 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√298 ≈ 6.669
Hence the cube of 298 is 26,505,592 and the cube root of 298 is approximately 6.669.
If the side length of the cube is 298 cm, what is the volume?
The volume is 26,505,592 cm³.
Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side³.
Substitute 298 for the side length: V = 298³ = 26,505,592 cm³.
How much larger is 298³ than 200³?
298³ – 200³ = 18,505,592.
First, find the cube of 298, which is 26,505,592. Next, find the cube of 200, which is 8,000,000.
Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method. 26,505,592 – 8,000,000 = 18,505,592
Therefore, 298³ is 18,505,592 larger than 200³.
If a cube with a side length of 298 cm is compared to a cube with a side length of 150 cm, how much larger is the volume of the larger cube?
The volume of the cube with a side length of 298 cm is 26,505,592 cm³.
To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object).
Cubing 298 means multiplying 298 by itself three times: 298 × 298 = 88,804, and 88,804 × 298 = 26,505,592.
The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³), because we are calculating the space inside the cube.
Therefore, the volume of the cube is 26,505,592 cm³.
Estimate the cube of 297 using the cube of 298.
The cube of 297 is approximately 26,505,592.
First, identify the cube of 298.
The cube of 298 is 298³ = 26,505,592.
Since 297 is only slightly less than 298, the cube of 297 will be almost the same as the cube of 298.
The cube of 297 is approximately 26,505,592 because the difference between 297 and 298 is very small.
So, we can approximate the value as 26,505,592.
