A cube root of a number is a value, when it is multiplied by itself three times, gives the original number. Imagine you have a cube (box) with the known volume. The cube root helps us determine the length of one side of the box.
The cube root of 1080 is the number which, when multiplied three times, we get a number that is equal to 1080. Let’s explore some steps and methods to calculate the cube root of 1080.
The cube root of 1080: ∛1080 = 10.259
The exponential form of the cube root of 1080: 10801/3
The radical form of the cube root of 1080: ∛1080
To find the cube root of 1080, we use the following methods:
We use the below formula to find the cube root using Halley’s Method;
∛a≅ x((x3+2a) / (2x3+a))
In the formula;
a = given number, 1080
x = an approximate number close to the cube root of the number, 1080: 103= 1000
Let’s apply the formula and find the Cube Root:
A = 1080, for the approximate method we choose, x = 10, it is the nearest cube (103= 1000).
Now apply the formula;
∛a≅ x((x3+2a) / (2x3+a))
∛1080≅ 10((103+2 × 1080) / (2 × 103+1080)) = 10.259
Hence, the approximate cube of 1080 ≅ 10.259
While learning about cube roots, children making mistakes is common, so to avoid a few mistakes that are likely to happen, below are a few mistakes and how to avoid these:
Calculate (∛1080)³.
(∛1080​)3= 1080, since cubing a cube root gives the original number.
Since 1080 isn’t a perfect cube, its cube root is an irrational number. This makes it a decimal that never ends or repeats.
Find ∛1080×∛27​.
∛(1080×27)= ∛29160
∛29160 = 30.4, as we can combine roots by multiplying their bases.
To solve this, we multiply 1080 and 27, then find the cube root of the result, 29160, which gives 30.4 approximately.
Find 5+∛1080​.
∛1080 = 10.259
5+10.259 =15.259 as we simply add the integer to the approximate value of the cube root.
Find the cube root of 1080, which is approximately 10.2, then add 5 to get 15.2.
Calculate 20 − ∛1080​.
∛1080 = 10.259
20 − 10.259 = 9.74, by subtracting the approximate cube root value from the integer.
First, find the cube root of 1080, which is approximately 10.259. Then, subtract 10.2 from 20 to get 9.8.
