When a number is multiplied by itself three times, the resultant number is called the cube of a number. Cubing is used when comparing the sizes of objects or things with cubic measurements. In this topic, we shall learn about the cube of 309.
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 309 can be written as 309³, which is the exponential form. Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as 309 × 309 × 309.
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. 309³ = 309 × 309 × 309
Step 2: You get 29,505,429 as the answer. Hence, the cube of 309 is 29,505,429.
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 309 into two parts, as 300 and 9. Let a = 300 and b = 9, so a + b = 309
Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
Step 3: Calculate each term
a³ = 300³
3a²b = 3 × 300² × 9
3ab² = 3 × 300 × 9²
b³ = 9³
Step 4: Add all the terms together:
(a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
(300 + 9)³ = 300³ + 3 × 300² × 9 + 3 × 300 × 9² + 9³
309³ = 27,000,000 + 2,430,000 + 243,000 + 729
309³ = 29,505,429
Step 5: Hence, the cube of 309 is 29,505,429.
To find the cube of 309 using a calculator, input the number 309 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 309 × 309 × 309. This operation calculates the value of 309³, resulting in 29,505,429. 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 9
Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 309³.
Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 309 three times manually.
Step 5: The calculator will display 29,505,429.
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 309?
The cube of 309 is 29,505,429 and the cube root of 309 is approximately 6.717.
First, let’s find the cube of 309.
We know that the cube of a number x, such that x³ = y Where x is the given number, and y is the cubed value of that number
So, we get 309³ = 29,505,429
Next, we must find the cube root of 309 We know that the 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 ∛309 ≈ 6.717
Hence the cube of 309 is 29,505,429 and the cube root of 309 is approximately 6.717.
If the side length of the cube is 309 cm, what is the volume?
The volume is 29,505,429 cm³.
Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side³.
Substitute 309 for the side length: V = 309³ = 29,505,429 cm³.
How much larger is 309³ than 300³?
309³ – 300³ = 2,505,429.
First find the cube of 309³, that is 29,505,429 Next, find the cube of 300³, which is 27,000,000
Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method. 29,505,429 – 27,000,000 = 2,505,429
Therefore, the 309³ is 2,505,429 larger than 300³.
If a cube with a side length of 309 cm is compared to a cube with a side length of 10 cm, how much larger is the volume of the larger cube?
The volume of the cube with a side length of 309 cm is 29,505,429 cm³
To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object).
Cubing 309 means multiplying 309 by itself three times: 309 × 309 = 95,481, and then 95,481 × 309 = 29,505,429.
The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³) because we are calculating the space inside the cube.
Therefore, the volume of the cube is 29,505,429 cm³.
Estimate the cube of 308.9 using the cube of 309.
The cube of 308.9 is approximately 29,505,429.
First, identify the cube of 309, The cube of 309 is 309³ = 29,505,429.
Since 308.9 is only a tiny bit less than 309, the cube of 308.9 will be almost the same as the cube of 309.
The cube of 308.9 is approximately 29,505,429 because the difference between 308.9 and 309 is very small.
So, we can approximate the value as 29,505,429.
