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 the cube of 3.75.
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 3.75 can be written as 3.75³, which is the exponential form. Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as, 3.75 × 3.75 × 3.75.
In order 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 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. 3.75³ = 3.75 × 3.75 × 3.75
Step 2: You get approximately 52.734375 as the answer. Hence, the cube of 3.75 is approximately 52.734375.
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 3.75 into two parts, as 3 and 0.75. Let a = 3 and b = 0.75, so a + b = 3.75
Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
Step 3: Calculate each term
a³ = 3³
3a²b = 3 × 3² × 0.75
3ab² = 3 × 3 × 0.75²
b³ = 0.75³
Step 4: Add all the terms together:
(a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
(3 + 0.75)³ = 3³ + 3 × 3² × 0.75 + 3 × 3 × 0.75² + 0.75³ 3.75³
= 27 + 20.25 + 5.0625 + 0.421875 3.75³
= 52.734375
Step 5: Hence, the cube of 3.75 is approximately 52.734375.
To find the cube of 3.75 using a calculator, input the number 3.75 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 3.75 × 3.75 × 3.75. This operation calculates the value of 3.75³, resulting in approximately 52.734375. It’s a quick way to determine the cube without manual computation.
Step 1: Ensure the calculator is functioning properly.
Step 2: Press 3 followed by .75
Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 3.75³.
Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 3.75 three times manually.
Step 5: The calculator will display approximately 52.734375.
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 3.75?
The cube of 3.75 is approximately 52.734375 and the cube root of 3.75 is approximately 1.557.
First, let’s find the cube of 3.75.
We know that the cube of a number is x³ = y, where x is the given number, and y is the cubed value of that number.
So, we get 3.75³ = approximately 52.734375.
Next, we must find the cube root of 3.75.
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 ∛3.75 ≈ 1.557.
Hence, the cube of 3.75 is approximately 52.734375 and the cube root of 3.75 is approximately 1.557.
If the side length of a cube is 3.75 cm, what is the volume?
The volume is approximately 52.734375 cm³.
Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side³.
Substitute 3.75 for the side length: V = 3.75³ ≈ 52.734375 cm³.
How much larger is 3.75³ than 2.75³?
3.75³ – 2.75³ ≈ 38.671875.
First, find the cube of 3.75³, which is approximately 52.734375.
Next, find the cube of 2.75³, which is approximately 14.0625.
Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method. 52.734375 – 14.0625 ≈ 38.671875.
Therefore, 3.75³ is approximately 38.671875 larger than 2.75³.
If a cube with a side length of 3.75 cm is compared to a cube with a side length of 1.75 cm, how much larger is the volume of the larger cube?
The volume of the cube with a side length of 3.75 cm is approximately 52.734375 cm³.
To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object).
Cubing 3.75 means multiplying 3.75 by itself three times: 3.75 × 3.75 = 14.0625, and then 14.0625 × 3.75 = 52.734375.
The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³), because we are calculating the space inside the cube.
Therefore, the volume of the cube is approximately 52.734375 cm³.
Estimate the cube 3.8 using the cube 3.75.
The cube of 3.8 is approximately 54.872.
First, identify the cube of 3.75.
The cube of 3.75 is 3.75³ ≈ 52.734375.
Since 3.8 is only a little more than 3.75, the cube of 3.8 will be slightly more than the cube of 3.75.
The cube of 3.8 is approximately 54.872 because the difference between 3.8 and 3.75 is very small.
So, we can approximate the value as 54.872.
