Question

The Great Pyramid at Giza has a square base with sides of length 230 meters and a height of 146.7 meters. Approximately what is the volume of the Great Pyramid?

Answer 1

Answer:

2586810 m³

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the volume of a pyramid, we find the area of the base multiplied by the height, then mulitplied by 1/3:

V = 1/3Bh

Since the base is a square, the area of this is found by the side length squared, making our formula

V = 1/3s²h

V = 1/3(230)²(146.7)

V = 1/3(52900)(146.7)

V = 1/3(7760430)

V = 2586810
