The Great Pyramid of Giza is an example of a square pyramid and is the last surviving structure considered a wonder of the ancie

nt world. The builders of the pyramid used a measure called a cubit, which represents the length of the forearm from the elbow to the tip of the middle finger. One cubit is about 20 inches in length. The height of the great pyramid is?

Answer:

The height of the great pyramid is:

  • <u>303.6 cubits approximately</u>.

Or:

  • <u>5464.6 inches approximately</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Great Pyramid of Giza could be said to have two heights: one at the time of being built and the other that can be currently measured, however, to answer the question, <u>the current height has been used, which is 303.6 cubits</u> (I give the answer in this unit because it was the one used by its builders).

There is a slight discrepancy with the values given in the exercise: <u>one cubit equals 18 inches, not 20</u>.

What is the square root of 95.54
vladimir2022 [97]
Well this is simple a calculator type problem...but if you are curious as the the algorithm used by simple calculators and such...

They use a Newtonian approximation until it surpasses the precision level of the calculator or computer program..

A newtonian approximation is an interative process that gets closer and closer to the actual answer to any mathematical problem...it is of the form:

x-(f(x)/(df/dx))

In a square root problem you wish to know:

x=√n  where x is the root and n is the number

x^2=n

x^2-n=0

So f(x)=x^2-n and df/dx=2x so using the definition of the newton approximation you have:

x-((x^2-n)/(2x)) which simplifies further to:

(2x^2-x^2+n)/(2x)

(x^2+n)/(2x), where you can choose any starting value of x that you desire (though convergence to an exact (if possible) solution will be swifter the closer xi is to the actual value x)

In this case the number, n=95.54, so a decent starting value for x would be 10.

Using this initial x in (x^2+95.54)/(2x) will result in the following iterative sequence of x.

10, 9.777, 9.774457, 9.7744565, 9.7744565066299210578124802523397

The calculator result for my calc is: 9.7744565066299210578124802523381

So you see how accurate the newton method is in just a few iterations. :P
