And generally, if we divide a cube into periods of three figures each, by placing a point over units, and one over every third figure from units, the number of points will show the number of figures in the root. EXAMPLES FOR THE BOARD. In order properly to understand the principles of the cube root, the student should be provided with the following blocks : 1. A cubical block, each side measuring 3 inches,...
