What is the length of the side of a cube whose volume is 275 cm3. Make use of the table for the cube root.

Volume of cube = 275 cm3 (Given)


Let side of cube = a cm


So,


=


=


We know that value of


From cube root table we get,


=


So by unitary method,


For difference (280 – 270 = 10 ) difference in cube root values = 6.542 – 6.463 = 0.079


For difference (275 – 270 = 5) difference in cube root values =


Hence,


Thus the required cube root is = 6.503.
