Answer:

2,420,000 m³

Explanation:

You want the volume of a square pyramid 220 m on a side and 150 m high.

Volume

The volume of a pyramid is 1/3 the volume of a cuboid of the same dimensions.

V = 1/3LWH

V = 1/3(220 m)²(150 m) = 2420000 m³

The volume of the pyramid is about 2,420,000 cubic meters.

Additional comment

The density of Egyptian limestone is between 2.4 and 2.7 g/cm³, so the mass of the pyramid is approximately 6 million metric tons. This is about 50% more than the most massive building built in modern times.
