How to Calculate the Value of the Cube Root of 36?

Cube Root of 36 by Halley's Method

Its formula is ∛a ≈ x ((x³ + 2a)/(2x³ + a))
where,
a = number whose cube root is being calculated
x = integer guess of its cube root.

Here a = 36
Let us assume x as 3
[∵ 3³ = 27 and 27 is the nearest perfect cube that is less than 36]
⇒ x = 3
Therefore,
∛36 = 3 (3³ + 2 × 36)/(2 × 3³ + 36)) = 3.3
⇒ ∛36 ≈ 3.3
Therefore, the cube root of 36 is 3.3 approximately.

Is the Cube Root of 36 Irrational?

Yes, because ∛36 = ∛(2 × 2 × 3 × 3) and it cannot be expressed in the form of p/q where q ≠ 0. Therefore, the value of the cube root of 36 is an irrational number.

Cube Root of 36 Solved Examples

Example 1: Given the volume of a cube is 36 in³. Find the length of the side of the cube.

Solution:

Volume of the Cube = 36 in³ = a³
⇒ a³ = 36
Cube rooting on both sides,
⇒ a = ∛36 in
Since the cube root of 36 is 3.3, therefore, the length of the side of the cube is 3.3 in.
Example 2: What is the value of ∛36 ÷ ∛(-36)?

Solution:

The cube root of -36 is equal to the negative of the cube root of 36.
⇒ ∛-36 = -∛36

Therefore,
⇒ ∛36/∛(-36) = ∛36/(-∛36) = -1
Example 3: Find the real root of the equation x³ − 36 = 0.

Solution:

x³ − 36 = 0 i.e. x³ = 36
Solving for x gives us,
x = ∛36, x = ∛36 × (-1 + √3i))/2 and x = ∛36 × (-1 - √3i))/2
where i is called the imaginary unit and is equal to √-1.
Ignoring imaginary roots,
x = ∛36
Therefore, the real root of the equation x³ − 36 = 0 is for x = ∛36 = 3.3019.

FAQs on Cube Root of 36

What is the Value of the Cube Root of 36?

We can express 36 as 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 i.e. ∛36 = ∛(2 × 2 × 3 × 3) = 3.30193. Therefore, the value of the cube root of 36 is 3.30193.

Is 36 a Perfect Cube?

The number 36 on prime factorization gives 2 × 2 × 3 × 3. Here, the prime factor 2 is not in the power of 3. Therefore the cube root of 36 is irrational, hence 36 is not a perfect cube.

If the Cube Root of 36 is 3.3, Find the Value of ∛0.036.

Let us represent ∛0.036 in p/q form i.e. ∛(36/1000) = 3.3/10 = 0.33. Hence, the value of ∛0.036 = 0.33.

What is the Cube of the Cube Root of 36?

The cube of the cube root of 36 is the number 36 itself i.e. (∛36)³ = (36^1/3)³ = 36.

Why is the Value of the Cube Root of 36 Irrational?

The value of the cube root of 36 cannot be expressed in the form of p/q where q ≠ 0. Therefore, the number ∛36 is irrational.

What is the Cube Root of -36?

The cube root of -36 is equal to the negative of the cube root of 36. Therefore, ∛-36 = -(∛36) = -(3.302) = -3.302.
