Question

A stone pyramid in Egypt has a square base that measures 158 m on each side. The height is 96 m. What is the volume of the pyramid?

Answer 1

Given:

The base of the pyramid is 158 m.

Height is 96 m

The volume of the Pyramid is given as,

`\begin{gathered} V=(1)/(3)* Area\text{ of the cross- section}* height \\ V=(1)/(3)* Area\text{ of the square}* Height \\ V=(1)/(3)*(s^2)* h \\ V=(1)/(3)*158^2*96 \\ V=(2396544)/(3) \\ V=798848m^3 \end{gathered}`

Answer: The volume of the Pyramid is 798848 cubic meters.
