Question 1 Report

Which of the following numbers is perfect cube?
Answer Details
To determine which of the given numbers is a perfect cube, we need to find the cube root of each number and check if it is a whole number or not. The cube root of a number is a value that, when cubed, gives the original number. For example, the cube root of 27 is 3, because 3 x 3 x 3 = 27. Using a calculator or by hand, we can find that: - The cube root of 350 is approximately 7.327, which is not a whole number. - The cube root of 504 is approximately 8.005, which is not a whole number. - The cube root of 950 is approximately 9.685, which is not a whole number. - The cube root of 1728 is exactly 12, which is a whole number. Therefore, the only number that is a perfect cube from the options given is 1728.
