Question

The square base of the Great Pyramid of Giza

has an area of 562,500 sq. ft. How could you determarke
the length of each side of the base?
What is the perimeter?

Answer 1

Since the base is a square, then the length of the side of the square base will be the square root of the area of the square.
√562,500 = 750 ft.
The perimeter of a square is four times its side length as it has four equal sides in length.
4 x 750 = 3000 ft.

Each side = 750 ft
Perimeter = 3000 ft

Answer 2

By equating the formula for the area of a square to the given area. We therefore get the length as 750ft

Perimeter = 3000 ft

Explanation:

we need to apply the formula for finding the area of square

Area of a square = side²

562 500 = s²

s = √562 500

s = 750 ft

Perimeter of a square = side X 4

= 750 X 4

= 3000 ft
