Ex 7.1 Class 8 Maths Question 4.
Parikshit makes a cuboid of plasticine of sides 5 cm, 2 cm, 5 cm. How many such cuboids will be needed to form a cube?
Solution:
The sides of the cuboid are given as 5 cm, 2 cm and 5 cm.
Volume of the cuboid = 5 cm × 2 cm × 5 cm = 50 cm3
For the prime factorisation of 50, we have
50 = 2 × 5 × 5
To make it a perfect cube, we must have
2 × 2 × 2 × 5 × 5 × 5
= 20 × (2 × 5 × 5)
= 20 × volume of the given cuboid
Thus, the required number of cuboids = 20.

Ex 7.2 Class 8 Maths Question 3.
You are told that 1,331 is a perfect cube. Can you guess without factorisation what is its cube root? Similarly, guess the cube roots of 4913, 12167, 32768.
Solution:
The given perfect cube = 1331
Forming groups of three from the rightmost digits of 1331
NCERT Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 7 Cubes and Cube Roots Ex 7.2 Q3
IInd group = 1
1st group = 331
One’s digit in first group = 1
One’s digit in the required cube root may be 1.
The second group has only 1.
Estimated cube root of 1331 = 11
Thus \sqrt [ 3 ]{ 1331 } = 11
(i) Given perfect cube = 4913
Forming groups of three from the right most digit of 4913
NCERT Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 7 Cubes and Cube Roots Ex 7.2 Q3.1
IInd group = 4
1st group = 913
One’s place digit in 913 is 3.
One’s place digit in the cube root of the given number may be 7.
Now in IInd group digit is 4
13 < 4 < 23
Ten’s place must be the smallest number 1.
Thus, the estimated cube root of 4913 = 17.
(ii) Given perfect cube = 12167
Forming group of three from the rightmost digits of 12167
NCERT Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 7 Cubes and Cube Roots Ex 7.2 Q3.2
We have IInd group = 12
1st group = 167
The ones place digit in 167 is 7.
One’s place digit in the cube root of the given number may be 3.
Now in Ilnd group, we have 12
23 < 12 < 33
Ten’s place of the required cube root of the given number = 2.
Thus, the estimated cube root of 12167 = 23.
(iii) Given perfect cube = 32768
Forming groups of three from the rightmost digits of 32768, we have
NCERT Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 7 Cubes and Cube Roots Ex 7.2 Q3.3
IInd group = 32
1st group = 768
One’s place digit in 768 is 8.
One’s place digit in the cube root of the given number may be 2.
Now in IInd group, we have 32
33 < 32 < 43
Ten’s place of the cube root of the given number = 3.
Thus, the estimated cube root of 32768 = 32.
