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.
