2 3 2 3 2 is called the cube of 2.
23 is read as “2 cubed”.
You can write 2 3 2 3 2 as 23.
So, 23 5 8.
The number 3 in 23 is the exponent. The number 2 is the base.
The cube of a whole number is called a perfect cube.
Since 8 5 2 3 2 3 2, 8 is a perfect cube.
b)
Find the cube of 7.

a)
A cube has a volume of 27 cubic meters. Find the length of each edge of
the cube.
?
Volume 5 27 m3
You know that
Volume of cube 5 edge 3 edge 3 edge.
To find the length of the edge of the cube, you need to find a number whose
cube is 27.
You know that
3 3 3 3 3 5 27.
So, the length of each edge of the cube is 3 meters.
3 is called the cube root of 27. This can be written as

27 5 3.
Finding the cube root
of a number is the
inverse of finding the
cube of a number.
