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 302.
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 302 can be written as 302³, which is the exponential form. Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as, 302 × 302 × 302.
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 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. 302³ = 302 × 302 × 302
Step 2: You get 27,518,408 as the answer. Hence, the cube of 302 is 27,518,408.
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 302 into two parts, such as 300 and 2. Let a = 300 and b = 2, so a + b = 302
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 × 2²
b³ = 2³
Step 4: Add all the terms together: (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
(300 + 2)³ = 300³ + 3 × 300² × 2 + 3 × 300 × 2² + 2³
302³ = 27,000,000 + 540,000 + 3,600 + 8
302³ = 27,518,408
Step 5: Hence, the cube of 302 is 27,518,408.
To find the cube of 302 using a calculator, input the number 302 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 302 × 302 × 302. This operation calculates the value of 302³, resulting in 27,518,408. It’s a quick way to determine the cube without manual computation.
Step 1: Ensure the calculator is functioning properly.
Step 2: Press 3 followed by 0 and then 2
Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 302³.
Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 302 three times manually.
Step 5: The calculator will display 27,518,408.
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 302?
The cube of 302 is 27,518,408 and the cube root of 302 is approximately 6.669.
First, let’s find the cube of 302.
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 302³ = 27,518,408
Next, we must find the cube root of 302 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 ∛302 ≈ 6.669
Hence the cube of 302 is 27,518,408 and the cube root of 302 is approximately 6.669.
If the side length of the cube is 302 cm, what is the volume?
The volume is 27,518,408 cm³.
Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side³.
Substitute 302 for the side length: V = 302³ = 27,518,408 cm³.
How much larger is 302³ than 202³?
302³ – 202³ = 16,724,808.
First find the cube of 302³, that is 27,518,408 Next, find the cube of 202³, which is 10,793,600
Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method.
27,518,408 – 10,793,600 = 16,724,808
Therefore, the 302³ is 16,724,808 larger than 202³.
If a cube with a side length of 302 cm is compared to a cube with a side length of 102 cm, how much larger is the volume of the larger cube?
The volume of the cube with a side length of 302 cm is 27,518,408 cm³
To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object).
Cubing 302 means multiplying 302 by itself three times: 302 × 302 = 91,204, and then 91,204 × 302 = 27,518,408.
The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³), because we are calculating the space inside the cube.
Therefore, the volume of the cube is 27,518,408 cm³.
Estimate the cube 301.9 using the cube 302.
The cube of 301.9 is approximately 27,518,408.
First, identify the cube of 302, The cube of 302 is 302³ = 27,518,408.
Since 301.9 is only a tiny bit less than 302, the cube of 301.9 will be almost the same as the cube of 302.
The cube of 301.9 is approximately 27,518,408 because the difference between 301.9 and 302 is very small.
So, we can approximate the value as 27,518,408.
