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 cubes of 299.
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 299 can be written as 299³, which is the exponential form. Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as, 299 × 299 × 299.
In order to check 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. 299³ = 299 × 299 × 299
Step 2: You get 26,730,299 as the answer. Hence, the cube of 299 is 26,730,299.
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 299 into two parts, as and . Let a = 300 and b = -1, so a + b = 299
Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
Step 3: Calculate each term a³ = 300³ 3a²b = 3 × 300² × (-1) 3ab² = 3 × 300 × (-1)² b³ = (-1)³
Step 4: Add all the terms together:
(a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
(300 - 1)³ = 300³ + 3 × 300² × (-1) + 3 × 300 × 1 + (-1)³
299³ = 27,000,000 - 270,000 + 900 - 1
299³ = 26,730,299
Step 5: Hence, the cube of 299 is 26,730,299.
To find the cube of 299 using a calculator, input the number 299 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 299 × 299 × 299. This operation calculates the value of 299³, resulting in 26,730,299. 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 9 and 9
Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 299³.
Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 299 three times manually.
Step 5: The calculator will display 26,730,299.
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 299?
The cube of 299 is 26,730,299 and the cube root of 299 is approximately 6.669.
First, let’s find the cube of 299.
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 299³ = 26,730,299
Next, we must find the cube root of 299 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√299 ≈ 6.669
Hence the cube of 299 is 26,730,299 and the cube root of 299 is approximately 6.669.
If the side length of the cube is 299 cm, what is the volume?
The volume is 26,730,299 cm³.
Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side³.
Substitute 299 for the side length: V = 299³ = 26,730,299 cm³.
How much larger is 299³ than 199³?
299³ – 199³ = 17,901,299.
First, find the cube of 299³, that is 26,730,299
Next, find the cube of 199³, which is 8,829,000
Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method. 26,730,299 – 8,829,000 = 17,901,299
Therefore, 299³ is 17,901,299 larger than 199³.
If a cube with a side length of 299 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 299 cm is 26,730,299 cm³
To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object).
Cubing 299 means multiplying 299 by itself three times: 299 × 299 = 89,401, and 89,401 × 299 = 26,730,299.
The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³), because we are calculating the space inside the cube.
Therefore, the volume of the cube is 26,730,299 cm³.
Estimate the cube of 298.9 using the cube of 299.
The cube of 298.9 is approximately 26,730,299.
First, identify the cube of 299,
The cube of 299 is 299³ = 26,730,299.
Since 298.9 is only a tiny bit less than 299, the cube of 298.9 will be almost the same as the cube of 299.
The cube of 298.9 is approximately 26,730,299 because the difference between 298.9 and 299 is very small.
So, we can approximate the value as 26,730,299.
