Question

A stone pyramid in Egypt has a square base that measures 160 m on each side. The height is 91 m. What is

the volume of the pyramid?

Answer 1

Initial considerations

• base = 160 m
• heigh= 91 m
• Volume = ?

Resolution

Volume = (base area x heigh)/3

base area = 160m x 160m

base area = 25600 m²

Volume = (25600 m² x 91 m) / 3

Volume = 776533.333 m³

Answer

the volume is 776533.333 m³
