Question

The great pyramid of giza has a square base. the length of each side of the base is approximately 230 meters. the height of the pyramid is approximately 147 meters. using these dimensions, what is the volume, in cubic meters, of the pyramid?

Answer 1

2,592,100 m³

Explanation:

The volume of the pyramid can be found by using the given dimensions in the formula for the volume of a square pyramid.

__

formula

V = 1/3s²h

where s is the side length of the square base, and h is the height.

application

Using the given dimensions, s = 230 m, h = 147 m, we find the volume to be ...

V = 1/3(230 m)²(147 m) = 2,592,100 m³

The volume of the pyramid is 2,592,100 cubic meters.
