3 <p>When a number is multiplied by itself thrice, the resultant number is called the cube of a number. Cubing is used when comparing sizes of objects or things with cubic measurements. In this topic, we shall learn about the cube of 120.</p>

4 <h2>Cube of 120</h2>

5 <p>A<a>cube</a><a>number</a>is a value obtained by raising a number to the<a>power</a>of 3, or by multiplying the number by itself three times.</p>

6 <p>When you cube a positive number, the result is always positive.</p>

7 <p>When you cube a<a>negative number</a>, the result is always negative.</p>

8 <p>This is because a negative number multiplied by itself three times results in a negative number.</p>

9 <p>The cube of 120 can be written as 120³, which is the<a>exponential form</a>.</p>

10 <p>Or it can also be written in<a>arithmetic</a>form as 120 × 120 × 120.</p>

11 <h2>How to Calculate the Value of Cube of 120</h2>

12 <p>In order to check whether a number is a cube number or not, we can use the following three methods, such as the<a>multiplication</a>method, a<a>factor</a><a>formula</a>(a³), or by using a<a>calculator</a>. These three methods will help kids to cube the numbers faster and easier without feeling confused or stuck while evaluating the answers.</p>

16 </ul><h3>By Multiplication Method</h3>

17 <p>The multiplication method is a process in mathematics used to find the<a>product</a>of two numbers or quantities by combining them through repeated<a>addition</a>. It is a fundamental operation that forms the basis for more complex mathematical concepts.</p>

18 <p><strong>Step 1:</strong>Write down the cube of the given number. 120³ = 120 × 120 × 120</p>

19 <p><strong>Step 2:</strong>You get 1,728,000 as the answer. Hence, the cube of 120 is 1,728,000.</p>

42 <h3>Problem 1</h3>

43 <p>What is the cube and cube root of 120?</p>

44 <p>Okay, lets begin</p>

45 <p>The cube of 120 is 1,728,000 and the cube root of 120 is approximately 4.932.</p>

46 <h3>Explanation</h3>

47 <p>First, let’s find the cube of 120.</p>

48 <p>We know that the cube of a number, such that x³ = y</p>

49 <p>Where x is the given number, and y is the cubed value of that number</p>

50 <p>So, we get 120³ = 1,728,000 Next, we must find the cube root of 120</p>

51 <p>We know that the cube root of a number ‘x’, such that ∛x = y</p>

52 <p>Where ‘x’ is the given number, and y is the cube root value of the number</p>

53 <p>So, we get ∛120 ≈ 4.932</p>

54 <p>Hence the cube of 120 is 1,728,000 and the cube root of 120 is approximately 4.932.</p>

55 <p>Well explained 👍</p>

56 <h3>Problem 2</h3>

57 <p>If the side length of the cube is 120 cm, what is the volume?</p>

58 <p>Okay, lets begin</p>

59 <p>The volume is 1,728,000 cm³.</p>

60 <h3>Explanation</h3>

61 <p>Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side³.</p>

62 <p>Substitute 120 for the side length: V = 120³ = 1,728,000 cm³.</p>

63 <p>Well explained 👍</p>

64 <h3>Problem 3</h3>

65 <p>How much larger is 120³ than 110³?</p>

66 <p>Okay, lets begin</p>

67 <p>120³ - 110³ = 505,720.</p>

68 <h3>Explanation</h3>

69 <p>First, find the cube of 120³, that is 1,728,000</p>

70 <p>Next, find the cube of 110³, which is 1,222,280</p>

71 <p>Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method. 1,728,000 - 1,222,280 = 505,720</p>

72 <p>Therefore, 120³ is 505,720 larger than 110³.</p>

73 <p>Well explained 👍</p>

74 <h3>Problem 4</h3>

75 <p>If a cube with a side length of 120 cm is compared to a cube with a side length of 30 cm, how much larger is the volume of the larger cube?</p>

76 <p>Okay, lets begin</p>

77 <p>The volume of the cube with a side length of 120 cm is 1,728,000 cm³</p>

78 <h3>Explanation</h3>

79 <p>To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object).</p>

80 <p>Cubing 120 means multiplying 120 by itself three times: 120 × 120 = 14,400, and then 14,400 × 120 = 1,728,000.</p>

81 <p>The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³), because we are calculating the space inside the cube.</p>

82 <p>Therefore, the volume of the cube is 1,728,000 cm³.</p>

83 <p>Well explained 👍</p>

84 <h3>Problem 5</h3>

85 <p>Estimate the cube of 119.9 using the cube of 120.</p>

86 <p>Okay, lets begin</p>

87 <p>The cube of 119.9 is approximately 1,728,000.</p>

88 <h3>Explanation</h3>

89 <p>First, identify the cube of 120, The cube of 120 is 120³ = 1,728,000.</p>

90 <p>Since 119.9 is only a tiny bit less than 120, the cube of 119.9 will be almost the same as the cube of 120.</p>

91 <p>The cube of 119.9 is approximately 1,728,000 because the difference between 119.9 and 120 is very small.</p>

92 <p>So, we can approximate the value as 1,728,000.</p>

93 <p>Well explained 👍</p>
