When a number is multiplied by itself thrice, the resultant number is called the cube of a number. Cubing is used while comparing sizes of objects or things with cubic measurements. In this topic, we shall learn about cubes of 549.
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 549 can be written as 5493, which is the exponential form.
Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as, 549 × 549 × 549.
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. 5493 = 549 × 549 × 549
Step 2: You get 165,813,549 as the answer. Hence, the cube of 549 is 165,813,549.
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 549 into two parts, as a and b. Let (a = 500) and (b = 49), so (a + b = 549).
Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)3 = a3 + 3a2b + 3ab2 + b3.
Step 3: Calculate each term (a3= 5003) (3a2b = 3 × 5002 × 49) (3ab2 = 3 × 500 × 492) (b3 = 493)
Step 4: Add all the terms together: (a + b)3 = a3 + 3a2b + 3ab2 + b3) (500 + 49)3 = 5003 + 3 × 5002 × 49 + 3 × 500 × 492 + 493) (5493 = 125,000,000 + 36,750,000 + 3,602,500 + 117,649) (5493 = 165,813,549)
Step 5: Hence, the cube of 549 is 165,813,549.
To find the cube of 549 using a calculator, input the number 549 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 549 × 549 × 549. This operation calculates the value of 5493, resulting in 165,813,549. It’s a quick way to determine the cube without manual computation.
Step 1: Ensure the calculator is functioning properly.
Step 2: Press 5 followed by 4 and 9.
Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 5493.
Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 549 three times manually.
Step 5: The calculator will display 165,813,549.
The cube of any even number is always even, while the cube of any odd number is always odd.
The product of two or more perfect cube numbers is always a perfect cube.
A perfect cube can always be expressed as the product of three identical groups of equal prime factors.
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 549?
The cube of 549 is 165,813,549 and the cube root of 549 is approximately 8.17.
First, let’s find the cube of 549.
We know that the cube of a number is such that x3 = y,
where x is the given number, and y is the cubed value of that number.
So, we get 5493 = 165,813,549
Next, we must find the cube root of 549.
We know that the cube root of a number ‘x’ is such that ∛x = y
where ‘x’ is the given number, and y is the cube root value of the number.
So, we get ∛549 ≈ 8.17.
Hence, the cube of 549 is 165,813,549 and the cube root of 549 is approximately 8.17.
If the side length of the cube is 549 cm, what is the volume?
The volume is 165,813,549 cm³.
Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side3.
Substitute 549 for the side length: V = 5493 = 165,813,549cm3.
How much larger is \(549^3\) than \(400^3\)?
5493 - 4003 = 157,613,549.
First, find the cube of 549, which is 165,813,549.
Next, find the cube of 400, which is 64,000,000.
Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method. 165,813,549 - 64,000,000 = 101,813,549.
Therefore, 5493 is 101,813,549 larger than 4003.
If a cube with a side length of 549 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 549 cm is 165,813,549 cm³.
To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object).
Cubing 549 means multiplying 549 by itself three times: 549 × 549 = 301,401, and then 301,401 × 549 = 165,813,549.
The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³), because we are calculating the space inside the cube.
Therefore, the volume of the cube is 165,813,549 cm³.
Estimate the cube of 548 using the cube of 549.
The cube of 548 is approximately 165,813,549.
First, identify the cube of 549, which is 5493 = 165,813,549.
Since 548 is only a tiny bit less than 549, the cube of 548 will be almost the same as the cube of 549.
The cube of 548 is approximately 165,813,549 because the difference between 548 and 549 is very small.
So, we can approximate the value as 165,813,549.
