When a number is multiplied by itself thrice, the resultant number is called the cube of a number. Cubing is used in comparing sizes of objects or things with cubic measurements. In this topic, we shall learn about cubes of 955.
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 955 can be written as 955³, which is the exponential form. Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as, 955 × 955 × 955.
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. 955³ = 955 × 955 × 955
Step 2: You get 871,112,875 as the answer. Hence, the cube of 955 is 871,112,875.
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 955 into two parts, as 900 and 55. Let a = 900 and b = 55, so a + b = 955
Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
Step 3: Calculate each term
a³ = 900³
3a²b = 3 × 900² × 55
3ab² = 3 × 900 × 55²
b³ = 55³
Step 4: Add all the terms together:
(a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
(900 + 55)³ = 900³ + 3 × 900² × 55 + 3 × 900 × 55² + 55³
955³ = 729,000,000 + 133,650,000 + 81,675,000 + 166,375
955³ = 871,112,875
Step 5: Hence, the cube of 955 is 871,112,875.
To find the cube of 955 using a calculator, input the number 955 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 955 × 955 × 955. This operation calculates the value of 955³, resulting in 871,112,875. It’s a quick way to determine the cube without manual computation.
Step 1: Ensure the calculator is functioning properly.
Step 2: Press 9 followed by 5 and 5.
Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 955³.
Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 955 three times manually.
Step 5: The calculator will display 871,112,875.
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 955?
The cube of 955 is 871,112,875 and the cube root of 955 is approximately 9.82.
First, let’s find the cube of 955.
We know that cube of a number x, is such that x³ = y Where ‘x’ is the given number, and ‘y’ is the cubed value of that number
So, we get 955³ = 871,112,875
Next, we must find the cube root of 955 We know that 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 ∛955 ≈ 9.82
Hence the cube of 955 is 871,112,875 and the cube root of 955 is approximately 9.82.
If the side length of the cube is 955 cm, what is the volume?
The volume is 871,112,875 cm³.
Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side³.
Substitute 955 for the side length: V = 955³ = 871,112,875 cm³.
How much larger is 955³ than 900³?
955³ – 900³ = 142,112,875.
First, find the cube of 955³, that is 871,112,875.
Next, find the cube of 900³, which is 729,000,000.
Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method. 871,112,875 – 729,000,000 = 142,112,875.
Therefore, 955³ is 142,112,875 larger than 900³.
If a cube with a side length of 955 cm is compared to a cube with a side length of 55 cm, how much larger is the volume of the larger cube?
The volume of the cube with a side length of 955 cm is 871,112,875 cm³.
To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object).
Cubing 955 means multiplying 955 by itself three times: 955 × 955 = 912,025, and then 912,025 × 955 = 871,112,875.
The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³), because we are calculating the space inside the cube.
Therefore, the volume of the cube is 871,112,875 cm³.
Estimate the cube 954.9 using the cube 955.
The cube of 954.9 is approximately 871,112,875.
First, identify the cube of 955, The cube of 955 is 955³ = 871,112,875.
Since 954.9 is only a tiny bit less than 955, the cube of 954.9 will be almost the same as the cube of 955.
The cube of 954.9 is approximately 871,112,875 because the difference between 954.9 and 955 is very small.
So, we can approximate the value as 871,112,875.
