We will learn the cube root concept to use it on other mathematical topics like algebra, mensuration, geometry, trigonometry, etc. So, it is as important as learning square roots. Let us now see how we can obtain the cube root value of 225, and its examples.
The cube root of 225 is the value which, when multiplied by itself three times (cubed), gives the original number 225. The cube root of 225 is 6.08220199557. The cube root of 225 is expressed as ∛225 in radical form, where the “ ∛ ” sign” is called the “radical” sign. In exponential form, it is written as (225)â…“. If “m” is the cube root of 225, then, m3=225. Let us find the value of “m”.
We can find cube roots of 225 through a method, named as, Halley’s Method. Let us see how it finds the result.
Now, what is Halley’s Method? It is an iterative method for finding cube roots of a given number N, such that, x3=N, where this method approximates the value of “x”.
Formula is ∛a≅ x((x3+2a) / (2x3+a)), where
a=given number whose cube root you are going to find
x=integer guess for the cubic root
Let us apply Halley’s method on the given number 225.
Step 1: Let a=225. Let us take x as 6, since 63=216 is the nearest perfect cube which is less than 216.
Step 2: Apply the formula. ∛216≅ 6((63+2×225) / (2(6)3+225)) = 6.08…
Hence, 6.08… is the approximate cubic root of 225.
Understanding common misconceptions or mistakes can make your calculations error free. So let us see how to avoid those from happening.
Find ∛225/ ∛220
∛225/ ∛220
= 6.08 / 6.03
= 608/603
=1.008
Answer: 1.008
We found that the cubic root of 220 is 6.03…, hence dividing ∛225 by ∛220.
The volume of a cube is 225 cubic centimeters, find the length of one side of the cube.
We know that, (side of a cube)3=Volume of a cube
⇒side of the cube = ∛(Volume of the cube)
⇒side of the cube = ∛225
⇒ side of the cube = 6.08 cm
Answer: 6.08 cm
We applied the formula for finding the volume of a cube, and inverted it to find the measure of one side of the cube.
Subtract ∛225 - ∛216, ∛343-∛225
∛225-∛216
= 6.08–6
= 0.08
∛343-∛225
= 7-6.08
= 0.92
Answer: 0.08, 0.92
We know that the cubic root of 216 is 6, hence subtracting ∛216 from ∛225.Applying the same for the next one, we know that the cubic root of 343 is 7, hence subtracting ∛225 from ∛343.
What is ∛(225²) ?
∛(2252) = (225)2/3
Answer:(225)2/3
Converted the given expression into its exponential form.
Find ∛(225+118).
∛(225+118)
= ∛343
=7
Answer: 7
Simplified the expression, and found out the cubic root of the result.
2) The cube root of a negative number is also negative.
3) If the cube root of a number is a whole number, then that original number is said to be perfect cube
