Cube Root of 121

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

The cube root of 121 is the value that, when multiplied by itself three times (cubed), gives the original number 121. Do you know? Cube roots apply to our real life also, like that for measuring dimensions, designing structures, density and mass, field of engineering etc.

What Is the Cube Root of 121?

The cube root of 121 is 4.94608744325. The cube root of 121 is expressed as ∛121 in radical form, where the “ ∛ “ sign” is called the “radical” sign. In exponential form, it is written as (121)1/3. If “m” is the cube root of 121, then, m3=121. Let us find the value of “m”.

Finding the Cube Root of 121

We can find cube root of 121 through a method, named as, Halley’s Method. Let us see how it finds the result.

Cube Root of 121 By Halley’s Method

Now, what is Halley’s Method? It is an iterative method for finding cube roots of a given number N, such that, x3=N, where this method approximates the value of “x”.


Formula is ∛a≅ x((x3+2a) / (2x3+a)), where 


a=given number whose cube root you are going to find


x=integer guess for the cubic root


Let us apply Halley’s method on the given number 121.


Step 1: Let a=121. Let us take x as 4, since 43=64 is the nearest perfect cube which is less than 121.


Step 2: Apply the formula.  ∛121≅ 4((43+2×121) / (2(4)3+121))= 4.92


Hence, 4.92 is the approximate cubic root of 121.

Cube Root of 121 Examples

Ray, the Character from BrightChamps Explaining Math Concepts
Max, the Girl Character from BrightChamps

Problem 1

Find (∛120/ ∛121) × (∛123/ ∛121) × (∛122/ ∛121)

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

 (∛120/ ∛121) × (∛123/ ∛121) × (∛122/ ∛121)


= (∛120× ∛123× ∛122) / (∛121× ∛121× ∛121)


=(∛120× ∛123× ∛122)/ ((121))3


=(∛120× ∛123× ∛122)/121


=(4.932 × 4.973 × 4.959)/ 121


Answer: (4.932 × 4.973 × 4.959)/ 121
 

Explanation

We used the fact that ((121))3=121 and then found the cube roots of 120,122, and 123 and simplified.

Problem 2

The length, breadth, and height of a cuboid is 6 units, 6.5 units, and 4.5 cm respectively. To find its volume, also find the measure of a side of a cube, whose volume is 121 cubic units.

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

 Volume of a cuboid = length × breadth × height = 6 × 6.5 × 4.5 cubic units = 175.5 cubic units.


Given, Volume of a cube = 121 cubic units


⇒ side × side × side = 121 cubic units


⇒ side =  ∛121


⇒ side = 4.94 units


Answer: Volume of the cuboid = 175.5 cubic units


Side length of the cube = 4.94 units
 

Explanation

Applied the formula and concept of the volume of a cuboid and cube and solved.

Problem 3

Multiply ∛121 × ∛125

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

 ∛121×∛125

 

= 4.94×5

 

= 24.7


Answer: 37.44
 

Explanation

We know that the cubic root of 125 is 5, hence multiplying  ∛125 with ∛121.

Problem 4

What is ∛(121⁶*¹/⁶) ?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

 ∛(1216×1/6)

 

= (121)1/3

 

= 4.94… 


Answer: 4.94 
 

Explanation

We solved and simplified the exponent part first using the fact that, (1216×1/6)=121, then solved.

Problem 5

Find ∛(121-(-4)).

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

 ∛(121-(-4))

 

= ∛(121+4)

 

=∛125=5


Answer: 5
 

Explanation

Simplified the expression, and found out the cubic root of the result.
