What is the Cube Root of 216?

The cube root of 216 is the number which when multiplied by itself three times gives the product as 216. Since 216 can be expressed as 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 3. Therefore, the cube root of 216 = ∛(2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 3) = 6.

How to Calculate the Value of the Cube Root of 216?

Cube Root of 216 by Prime Factorization

Prime factorization of 216 is 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 3
Simplifying the above expression: 2³ × 3³
Simplifying further: 6³

Therefore, the cube root of 216 by prime factorization is (2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 3)^1/3 = 6.

Is the Cube Root of 216 Irrational?

No, because ∛216 = ∛(2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 3) can be expressed in the form of p/q i.e. 6/1. Therefore, the value of the cube root of 216 is an integer (rational).

Cube Root of 216 Solved Examples

Example 1: Find the real root of the equation x³ − 216 = 0.

Solution:

x³ − 216 = 0 i.e. x³ = 216
Solving for x gives us,
x = ∛216, x = ∛216 × (-1 + √3i))/2 and x = ∛216 × (-1 - √3i))/2
where i is called the imaginary unit and is equal to √-1.
Ignoring imaginary roots,
x = ∛216
Therefore, the real root of the equation x³ − 216 = 0 is for x = ∛216 = 6.
Example 2: Given the volume of a cube is 216 in³. Find the length of the side of the cube.

Solution:

Volume of the Cube = 216 in³ = a³
⇒ a³ = 216
Cube rooting on both sides,
⇒ a = ∛216 in
Since the cube root of 216 is 6, therefore, the length of the side of the cube is 6 in.
Example 3: What is the value of ∛216 + ∛(-216)?

Solution:

The cube root of -216 is equal to the negative of the cube root of 216.
i.e. ∛-216 = -∛216

Therefore, ∛216 + ∛(-216) = ∛216 - ∛216 = 0
