Archaeology students are constructing a replica of the Great Pyramid of Giza that they will then fill with sand. The replica is to be 120the size of the original pyramid. The Great Pyramid is approximately 147 meters tall and each side of the base is approximately 230 meters long. Based on these measurements, how many cubic meters of sand will the students need? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Answer: 972 m^3 of sand

Step-by-step explanation:

Height of original pyramid = 147 meters

Each side of the base = 230 meters (that is both the base length and base width).

If replica pyramid is to be 1/20 the size of the original pyramid :

Size dimension of replica pyramid will therefore be,

Height = 1/20 × 147 = 7.35metres

Each Base = 1/20 × 230 = 11.5 metres

To calculate the amount of sand required, we can get these by Calculating the volume of the pyramid which us the amount of space occupied by an object.

The volume of a pyramid is given by:

(Base length × base width × height) ÷ 3

( 7.35 m × 11.5 m × 11.5 m) / 3

972.0375 m^3

That means the volume of the pyramid is 972.0375 m^3

The perimeter of ABCD is 66 and DC is twice as long as CB how long is a B
Natali5045456 [20]
<span>Length = x Width = 2x
Perimeter = 2 * length + 2 * width
= 2x + 4x
= 6x 
6x = 66
x = 11 
</span><span>Length = x Width = 2x
Perimeter = 2 * length + 2 * width
= 2x + 4x
= 6x 
6x = 66
x = 11</span>
