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 145.
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 by itself three times results in a negative number.
The cube of 145 can be written as 145³, which is the exponential form.
Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as, 145 × 145 × 145.
In order to check whether a number is a cube number or not, we can use the following three methods, such as 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. 145³ = 145 × 145 × 145
Step 2: You get 3,052,625 as the answer. Hence, the cube of 145 is 3,052,625.
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 145 into two parts, as 140 and 5. Let a = 140 and b = 5, so a + b = 145
Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
Step 3: Calculate each term a³ = 140³ 3a²b = 3 × 140² × 5 3ab² = 3 × 140 × 5² b³ = 5³
Step 4: Add all the terms together: (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³ (140 + 5)³ = 140³ + 3 × 140² × 5 + 3 × 140 × 5² + 5³ 145³ = 2,744,000 + 294,000 + 10,500 + 125 145³ = 3,052,625
Step 5: Hence, the cube of 145 is 3,052,625.
To find the cube of 145 using a calculator, input the number 145 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 145 × 145 × 145. This operation calculates the value of 145³, resulting in 3,052,625. It’s a quick way to determine the cube without manual computation.
Step 1: Ensure the calculator is functioning properly.
Step 2: Press 1 followed by 4 and 5
Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 145³.
Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 145 three times manually.
Step 5: The calculator will display 3,052,625.
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 145?
The cube of 145 is 3,052,625 and the cube root of 145 is approximately 5.288.
First, let’s find the cube of 145.
We know that 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 145³ = 3,052,625 Next, we must find the cube root of 145
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 ∛145 ≈ 5.288
Hence, the cube of 145 is 3,052,625 and the cube root of 145 is approximately 5.288.
If the side length of the cube is 145 cm, what is the volume?
The volume is 3,052,625 cm³.
Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side³.
Substitute 145 for the side length: V = 145³ = 3,052,625 cm³.
How much larger is 145³ than 140³?
145³ – 140³ = 308,625.
First find the cube of 145³, that is 3,052,625
Next, find the cube of 140³, which is 2,744,000
Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method. 3,052,625 – 2,744,000 = 308,625
Therefore, the 145³ is 308,625 larger than 140³.
If a cube with a side length of 145 cm is compared to a cube with a side length of 5 cm, how much larger is the volume of the larger cube?
The volume of the cube with a side length of 145 cm is 3,052,625 cm³.
To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object).
Cubing 145 means multiplying 145 by itself three times: 145 × 145 = 21,025, and then 21,025 × 145 = 3,052,625.
The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³), because we are calculating the space inside the cube.
Therefore, the volume of the cube is 3,052,625 cm³.
Estimate the cube of 144.9 using the cube of 145.
The cube of 144.9 is approximately 3,052,625.
First, identify the cube of 145,
The cube of 145 is 145³ = 3,052,625.
Since 144.9 is only a tiny bit less than 145, the cube of 144.9 will be almost the same as the cube of 145.
The cube of 144.9 is approximately 3,052,625 because the difference between 144.9 and 145 is very small.
So, we can approximate the value as 3,052,625.
