Question 15: Find the volume of a cube, one face of which has an area of 64 m2. 

Answer 15: Area of a face of cube is given by:
 As2A=s2, where s = Side of the cube
Further, volume of a cube is given by:
V=s3V=s3, where s = Side of the cube
It is given that the area of one face of the cube is 64 m2. Therefore we have:
s2=64s=RD Sharma Solutions for Class 8 Math Chapter 4 - Cubes and Cube Roots (Part-2) | RD Sharma Solutions for Class 8 Mathematics=8 ms2=64⇒s=64=8 m
Now, volume is given by:
V=s3=83V= 8×8×8 =512 m3V=s3=83⇒V= 8×8×8 =512 m3
Thus, the volume of the cube is 512 m3.

Question 16: Find the volume of a cube whose surface area is 384 m2.

Answer 16: Surface area of a cube is given by:
SA=6s2SA=6s2, where s = Side of the cube
Further, volume of a cube is given by:
V=s3V=s3, where s = Side of the cube
It is given that the surface area of the cube is 384 m2. Therefore, we have:
6s2=384s=RD Sharma Solutions for Class 8 Math Chapter 4 - Cubes and Cube Roots (Part-2) | RD Sharma Solutions for Class 8 Mathematics 8 m6s2=384⇒s=3846=64=8 m

Now, volume is given by:
V=s3=83V= 8×8×8 =512 m3V=s3=83⇒V= 8×8×8 =512 m3
Thus, the required volume is 512 m3.

(iv) 1728

Answer 20: (i) On factorising 64 into prime factors, we get:
64=2×2×2×2×2×264=2×2×2×2×2×2
On grouping the factors in triples of equal factors, we get:
64={2×2×2}×{2×2×2}64=2×2×2×2×2×2
It is evident that the prime factors of 64 can be grouped into triples of equal factors and no factor is left over. Therefore, 64 is a perfect cube.
(ii) On factorising 216 into prime factors, we get:
216=2×2×2×3×3×3216=2×2×2×3×3×3
On grouping the factors in triples of equal factors, we get:
216={2×2×2}×{3×3×3}216=2×2×2×3×3×3
It is evident that the prime factors of 216 can be grouped into triples of equal factors and no factor is left over. Therefore, 216 is a perfect cube.
(iii) On factorising 243 into prime factors, we get:
243=3×3×3×3×3243=3×3×3×3×3
On grouping the factors in triples of equal factors, we get:
243={3×3×3}×3×3243=3×3×3×3×3
It is evident that the prime factors of 243 cannot be grouped into triples of equal factors such that no factor is left over. Therefore, 243 is a not perfect cube.
(iv) On factorising 1728 into prime factors, we get:
1728=2×2×2×2×2×2×3×3×31728=2×2×2×2×2×2×3×3×3
On grouping the factors in triples of equal factors, we get:
1728={2×2×2}×{2×2×2}×{3×3×3}1728=2×2×2×2×2×2×3×3×3
It is evident that the prime factors of 1728 can be grouped into triples of equal factors and no factor is left over. Therefore, 1728 is a perfect cube.
Thus, (iii) 243 is the required number, which is not a perfect cube. 

Question 21: For each of the non-perfect cubes in Q. No. 20 find the smallest number by which it must be
(a) multiplied so that the product is a perfect cube.
(b) divided so that the quotient is a perfect cube.

Answer 21: The only non-perfect cube in question number 20 is 243.
(a) On factorising 243 into prime factors, we get:
243=3×3×3×3×3243=3×3×3×3×3
On grouping the factors in triples of equal factors, we get:
243={3×3×3}×3×3243=3×3×3×3×3
It is evident that the prime factors of 243 cannot be grouped into triples of equal factors such that no factor is left over. Therefore, 243 is not a perfect cube. However, if the number is multiplied by 3, the factors can be grouped into triples of equal factors such that no factor is left over.
Thus, 243 should be multiplied by 3 to make it a perfect cube.
(b) On factorising 243 into prime factors, we get:
243=3×3×3×3×3243=3×3×3×3×3
On grouping the factors in triples of equal factors, we get:
243={3×3×3}×3×3243=3×3×3×3×3
It is evident that the prime factors of 243 cannot be grouped into triples of equal factors such that no factor is left over. Therefore, 243 is not a perfect cube. However, if the number is divided by (3×3=93×3=9), the factors can be grouped into triples of equal factors such that no factor is left over.
Thus, 243 should be divided by 9 to make it a perfect cube.

Question 22: By taking three different values of n verify the truth of the following statements:
(i) If n is even , then n3 is also even.
(ii) If n is odd, then n3 is also odd.

Thus, they are even.
This verifies the statement.
(ii) Let the three odd natural numbers be 3, 9 and 27.
Cubes of these numbers are: 
33=27, 93=729, 273=1968333=27, 93=729, 273=19683 
By divisibility test, it is evident that 27, 729 and 1968327, 729 and 19683 are divisible by 3.
Thus, they are odd.
This verifies the statement.

Question 28: Find which of the following numbers are cubes of rational numbers:

(i) 27/64

(ii) 125/128

(iii) 0.001331
(iv) 0.04 

Answer 28: (i) We have:

Therefore, 27/64 is a cube of 3/8.

(ii) We have:

It is evident that 128 cannot be grouped into triples of equal factors; therefore, 125/128125128 is not a cube of a rational number. 

(iii) We have:

Therefore, 0.0013310.001331 is a cube of 11/100.

(iv) We have:

FAQs on RD Sharma Solutions for Class 8 Math Chapter 4 - Cubes and Cube Roots (Part-2) - RD Sharma Solutions for Class 8 Mathematics

1. What are cubes and cube roots?
Ans. Cubes are numbers that are multiplied by themselves three times. For example, 2 cubed (written as 2^3) is equal to 2 x 2 x 2 = 8. Cube roots, on the other hand, are the opposite operation of cubes. They help us find the number that, when multiplied by itself three times, gives us a given number. For example, the cube root of 8 is 2, since 2 x 2 x 2 = 8.
2. How do I find the cube of a number?
Ans. To find the cube of a number, you simply multiply the number by itself two more times. For example, to find the cube of 3, you would calculate 3 x 3 x 3 = 27. Similarly, for any other number, you would multiply it by itself twice to find its cube.
3. How do I find the cube root of a number?
Ans. To find the cube root of a number, you need to find the number that, when multiplied by itself three times, gives you the given number. This can be done using the prime factorization method. You factorize the given number into prime factors and then group them in sets of three. The cube root will be the product of the numbers in each set. For example, to find the cube root of 27, you factorize it as 3 x 3 x 3. Since there is only one set of three numbers, the cube root of 27 is 3.
4. How can I simplify expressions involving cubes and cube roots?
Ans. To simplify expressions involving cubes and cube roots, you can use the properties of exponents. For example, if you have (a^3)^2, you can simplify it as a^(3 x 2) = a^6. Similarly, if you have the cube root of a number raised to a power, you can simplify it by multiplying the power with 1/3. For example, the cube root of (a^6) can be simplified as (a^6)^(1/3) = a^(6 x 1/3) = a^2.
5. How are cubes and cube roots used in real-life applications?
Ans. Cubes and cube roots are used in various real-life applications, especially in fields like architecture, engineering, and computer graphics. For example, architects often need to calculate the volume of a cuboid or cube-shaped building, which involves finding the cube of a number. Similarly, engineers use cube roots to calculate the side length of a cube given its volume. In computer graphics, cube roots are used for scaling objects in three dimensions to maintain their proportions.
