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 1.331.
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 1.331 can be written as 1.331³, which is the exponential form.
Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as, 1.331 × 1.331 × 1.331.
To check whether a number is a cube number or not, we can use the following three methods: 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. 1.331³ = 1.331 × 1.331 × 1.331
Step 2: You get approximately 2.357 as the answer.
Hence, the cube of 1.331 is approximately 2.357.
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 1.331 into two parts, as 1.3 and 0.031. Let a = 1.3 and b = 0.031, so a + b = 1.331
Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
Step 3: Calculate each term a³ = 1.3³ 3a²b = 3 × 1.3² × 0.031 3ab² = 3 × 1.3 × 0.031² b³ = 0.031³
Step 4: Add all the terms together: (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³ (1.3 + 0.031)³ = 1.3³ + 3 × 1.3² × 0.031 + 3 × 1.3 × 0.031² + 0.031³ 1.331³ ≈ 2.197 + 0.156 + 0.003 + 0.00003 1.331³ ≈ 2.357
Step 5: Hence, the cube of 1.331 is approximately 2.357.
To find the cube of 1.331 using a calculator, input the number 1.331 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 1.331 × 1.331 × 1.331. This operation calculates the value of 1.331³, resulting in approximately 2.357. It’s a quick way to determine the cube without manual computation.
Step 1: Ensure the calculator is functioning properly.
Step 2: Press 1 then . then 3 then 3 then 1
Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 1.331³.
Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 1.331 three times manually.
Step 5: The calculator will display approximately 2.357.
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 1.331?
The cube of 1.331 is approximately 2.357 and the cube root of 1.331 is approximately 1.097.
First, let’s find the cube of 1.331.
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 1.331³ ≈ 2.357
Next, we must find the cube root of 1.331
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 ∛1.331 ≈ 1.097
Hence the cube of 1.331 is approximately 2.357 and the cube root of 1.331 is approximately 1.097.
If the side length of the cube is 1.331 meters, what is the volume?
The volume is approximately 2.357 m³.
Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side³.
Substitute 1.331 for the side length: V = 1.331³ ≈ 2.357 m³.
How much larger is 1.331³ than 1.23³?
1.331³ - 1.23³ ≈ 0.730.
First, find the cube of 1.331, that is approximately 2.357.
Next, find the cube of 1.23, which is approximately 1.627.
Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method. 2.357 - 1.627 ≈ 0.730
Therefore, the 1.331³ is approximately 0.730 larger than 1.23³.
If a cube with a side length of 1.331 meters is compared to a cube with a side length of 1 meter, how much larger is the volume of the larger cube?
The volume of the cube with a side length of 1.331 meters is approximately 2.357 m³
To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object).
Cubing 1.331 means multiplying 1.331 by itself three times: 1.331 × 1.331 ≈ 1.771, and then 1.771 × 1.331 ≈ 2.357.
The unit of volume is cubic meters (m³), because we are calculating the space inside the cube.
Therefore, the volume of the cube is approximately 2.357 m³.
Estimate the cube 1.335 using the cube 1.331.
The cube of 1.335 is approximately 2.375.
First, identify the cube of 1.331,
The cube of 1.331 is approximately 2.357.
Since 1.335 is only a tiny bit more than 1.331, the cube of 1.335 will be slightly more than the cube of 1.331.
The cube of 1.335 is approximately 2.375, considering the small difference.
So, we can approximate the value as 2.375.
