2x = 2 Γ 14 = 28
3x = 3 Γ 14 = 42
Solution:
Given, the volume of cube = 9261000 m3
Let the side of the cube be βxβ meter
Therefore, x3 = 9261000
Taking cube root on both the side,
x = β9261000 = β (2Γ2Γ2Γ3Γ3Γ3Γ5Γ5Γ5Γ7Γ7Γ7) = β (23Γ33Γ53Γ73) = 2Γ3Γ5Γ7 = 210
Hence, the side of cube is 210 meter
Exercise 4.3 of Chapter 4 provides students with a comprehensive set of problems designed to reinforce and expand their understanding of cubes and cube roots. Through this exercise, students practice finding cube roots of larger numbers, solving word problems involving cubical objects, working with fractional and decimal cube roots, and applying cube root concepts to more complex algebraic expressions. The questions encourage students to think critically about the relationships between a cube's volume, surface area, and edge length, as well as how changes in one dimension affect the others. By completing this exercise, students not only enhance their computational skills but also develop a deeper intuition for three-dimensional mathematical relationships, preparing them for more advanced topics in geometry and algebra.
